How Proposition 6 failed in California in 2024 election
prismreports.org
Rejected Proposition 6 would have banned forced prison labor, while Proposition 36 passed to restore higher penalties on some drug and theft offenses

While eyes have been on the presidential election, particularly results in key swing states, this election season also brought a blow to criminal justice reform advocates in California. Voters’ final decision on pivotal ballot measures Proposition 36 and Proposition 6 will shape both policing and the experiences of and opportunities afforded to currently incarcerated people across the state. Not only did voters approve increased penalties for theft and some drug offenses, but they also rejected a move to ban forced prison labor.

    Truly curious, what did she do that was corrupt and/or racist?

    that goes out the window when you start suggesting “restorative justice” for someone who shot a baby.

    I mean, it’s got to apply equally to everyone. Not everyone may be open to, or able to be reformed, so some will need to be kept apart from society, but you can’t apply a different standard of justice based on how you feel about someone.
