For the record - July 2, 2011

State prisons: An article in the July 1 LATExtra section about a three-judge court issuing deadlines for California to reduce its prison population said that Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill in May to transfer thousands of inmates from state prisons to county jails. In fact, Brown signed a bill in April that would assign custody of some future prisoners to local rather than state authorities. Also, in the April 5 LATExtra section, the headline on the article about Brown signing the bill said, “State to transfer some inmates.” The bill dealt with the placement of future prisoners, not the transfer of inmates already in prison.

Getty House: In the June 30 LATExtra section, an article about plans to erect a 6-foot fence at the Getty House contained several errors: The mayor’s residence is in Windsor Square, not Hancock Park; the name of Antonio Villaraigosa’s chief of staff is Jeff Carr, not John; and construction of the fence is expected to take three weeks, not 13. Also, a photograph used in a photo illustration that accompanied the article was taken by Allen J. Schaben, not Al Seib.

Film workshop: An article in the June 30 Calendar section about a film workshop at the Museum of Contemporary Art misspelled the first name of programming director Jonathan Wells as Jonathon.
