A panel of federal judges on Thursday, June 20, 2013, criticized Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to reduce inmate population because it fell short of the court-ordered cap by 2,300 inmates. Brown enters the final year of his third term as governor with a 58 percent approval rating, yet his prison sentencing reform plan to address the federal court order on prison reduction is giving fodder to Republicans who raise the specter of a rising rate.(AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli, file)
