That story of the convicted thief actually was out of California and, as I recall, the article mainly dealt with the massive number of frivolous lawsuits emanating from the penal system there that were clogging their courts.
There was discussion of how to deal with it, but I don't remember any specific measures that were proposed or what the final outcome was. I think the article mentioned that some judges had resorted to simply throwing the cases out by refusing to hear them.
