This is a fundamental sea change in the way the Department of Corrections does business and this settlement, which is a direct result of the Supreme Court's decision in February, will have a real and lasting impact on the entire California prison system. Like the bussing and lunch counter segregation policies of years past, California's practice of separating prisoners by race is a relic of a different era. We're proud to have played a part in bringing this era to a close.
