This month he returned to San Quentin State Prison -- as a guest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Houston was back at the prison to try to convince Silicon Valley venture capitalists to invest in an after-school program he designed called Teen Tech Hub, which aims to teach technology skills to youths in Richmond.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright pullquote\">'My goal is to get a job as a junior software developer, and I’ve got to tell you, this program has given me those skills.'\u003ccite>Aly Tamboura, program participant\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Houston presented his project with still-incarcerated inmates during Demo Day, an event for inmates to present their tech projects to venture capitalists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Teen Tech Hub was born out of my incarceration,” said the 42-year-old during his presentation. “I came to San Quentin and I realized what it meant to be in a community, and I wanted to bring that back to my community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event was part of the San Quentin Coding Program, Code 7370, an initiative launched last year by a nonprofit group called The Last Mile to teach computer programming to inmates. The program is effectively a technology startup incubator inside the prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Last Mile was founded five years ago by San Francisco-based venture capitalist Chris Redlitz and his wife, Beverly Parenti, to help reduce mass incarceration and recidivism in prisons by developing job skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recidivism: An Urgent Problem\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mass incarceration and recidivism are urgent problems in California. While recidivism in 2014 declined nearly 7 percent from 2013, it was still 54.3 percent, according to a California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation report. And the state’s prison system is overflowing with 116,124 inmates, 33 percent over capacity as of Dec. 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, the group focused on the development of entrepreneurial skills, but the program took a different turn last year when the organization partnered with the San Francisco-based coding school Hack Reactor. The two organizations worked together to create a curriculum to teach basic Web programming and advanced coding languages.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"Ql6jwArWC6iKBoBycJTRkyPjNaYeF3yq\"]\u003cbr>\nWes Bailey, director of operations for The Last Mile, said the move made sense because the group’s aim was to provide inmates with job opportunities after they leave prison. Not only is the technology sector a fast-growing industry, but Bailey believes that there will be a shortage of Web developers in the next five years that former inmates could fill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The No.1 reason that inmates typically return to prison is if they don’t have something that is gainful employment,” said Bailey, who also worked as an instructor on the first stage of the program. “Our program is designed to prep them for really good jobs, and these are well-paying jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help ensure the program’s success, inmates have to go through a competitive selection process that includes an interview and an assessment of their behavior and expected release date. Inmates with some experience in technology who can demonstrate an ability to learn are invited into the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the program has had its challenges. One of the biggest hurdles in the beginning was trying to figure out a way to teach coding without Internet access because prisoners do not have permission to go online. To solve this problem, the organization built an internal system to share the projects developed by the inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another issue was how to handle the transition to the real world after prisoners have finished their sentences. The nonprofit solved this by continuing to work with their former students after their release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Houston was one of them. After being released in May 2013, he continued to develop his tech project until the organization decided to fund it this year. Now, he is seeking venture capital funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Houston said that he was grateful for the skills he developed because so much in California is technology driven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re an archaic man trying to survive in today’s society,” said Houston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Another Benefit: Cost-Cutting\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Last Mile’s co-founder, Redlitz, said the program has another side benefit. By reducing recidivism, it also cuts down the prison system’s cost to taxpayers, which would allow the savings to be re-invested in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The end result is if we can mitigate some of the problems that are a big fiscal issue for us and take some of that cost away, [it can be] re-dedicated to other areas, especially education,” Redlitz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that prison spending was “on par with higher education.” According to the state’s enacted budget, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has a budget this year of $12.6 billion, while higher education has a budget of $14.6 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you took a fraction of that budget and redirected it towards education, every young person in California could have a free college education,” Bailey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also attending Demo Day was former inmate Heracio Harts, 42, who had been convicted of manslaughter. He went through the entrepreneurial program in 2012 and developed a project called the Healthy Hearts Institute. His project aims to encourage nutrition and physical fitness to combat childhood obesity in low-income neighborhood in Pittsburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10798434\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/SQ10-e1451333354650.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10798434\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10798434\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/SQ10-800x591.jpg\" alt=\"Code 7370's student inmates listen to introductory speeches on Demo Day prior to their projects' presentation at San Quentin.\" width=\"800\" height=\"591\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Code 7370's student inmates listen to introductory speeches on Demo Day prior to their projects' presentation at San Quentin. \u003ccite>(Marcos Martinez/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Harts said The Last Mile’s program gave him the support he did not find outside prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In my neighborhood ...

The backlash from many activists and civil rights groups, including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclunc.org/blog/aclu-oakland-protest-curfew-let-people-march\">ACLU, \u003c/a>helped set the tone for an antagonistic relationship between the mayor and the city’s activists. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10. \u003cstrong>Bizarre Brawls\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This technically did not happen in Oakland, but at an Alameda City Council meeting,\u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2015/11/05/a-beat-down-at-alameda-city-hall\" target=\"_blank\"> fisticuffs broke out\u003c/a> between a tenants rights advocate and the director of public works.

Since the purchase was made on the private market, the company wasn’t required to provide any specific community benefits beyond a \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/real-estate/2015/10/uber-oakland-affordable-housing-fee-gentrification.html\" target=\"_blank\">$1 million affordable housing\u003c/a> fee. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some are concerned that, as Oakland attracts more large powerful companies, the housing market will price out current residents, as has happened in San Francisco. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/09/24/welcome-to-oakland-uber-a-few-tips-for-the-big-move/\" target=\"_blank\">Read some tips KQED has for Uber here\u003c/a>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. \u003cstrong>The Warriors\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/06/16/game-6-warriors-look-to-clinch-nba-championship\" target=\"_blank\">Golden State Warriors winning\u003c/a> their first championship in 40 years made this year’s list.

The backlash from many activists and civil rights groups, including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclunc.org/blog/aclu-oakland-protest-curfew-let-people-march\">ACLU, \u003c/a>helped set the tone for an antagonistic relationship between the mayor and the city’s activists. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10. \u003cstrong>Bizarre Brawls\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This technically did not happen in Oakland, but at an Alameda City Council meeting,\u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2015/11/05/a-beat-down-at-alameda-city-hall\" target=\"_blank\"> fisticuffs broke out\u003c/a> between a tenants rights advocate and the director of public works.

"content": "\u003cp>California’s system for helping victims of violent crimes is getting a major update come Jan. 1, when a new law takes effect aiming to better connect survivors with services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.vcgcb.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California’s Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board\u003c/a> provides money to survivors of violent crime and their families for things like funeral expenses, therapy and lost wages. But some people thought the board’s rules had \u003ca href=\"http://www.safeandjust.org/news-media/victimsreport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">become outdated\u003c/a> — and \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB1140\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AB1140\u003c/a>, which takes effect next month, seeks to bring things into the 21st century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our concern was that we, in our practice, often saw victims not getting the services they needed because of restrictions around the rules,” said \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón, who helped craft the law by Assemblyman Rob Bonta and Sen. Loni Hancock, both Oakland Democrats. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of the new law’s provisions recognize lessons learned in recent years — including the fact that victims and criminal offenders can be the same people, Gascón said. Current law bars people on probation or parole for a felony from seeking compensation, even if they are the victim of a separate crime. AB1140 will change that for people on probation or parole for a nonviolent crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/239707162″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of the offenders are people that were victimized earlier. And they were traumatized in violence and victimization was normalized in their life, and they start themselves become the aggressors and victimizing others,” Gascón said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law will also catch the board up with the times and technology, Gascón said — by letting victims testify at restitution hearings by video; by increasing the amount of money a family can receive for funeral expenses; and by letting survivors receive information about their rights in their native language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters hope the tweaks will allow more people to access the help they need, Gascón said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is moving to the 21st century. It is also being more realistic how victims are going to react to the criminal justice process. And frankly it’s being more humane,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new law \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">also changes the rules so that domestic violence survivors won’t be barred from receiving help just because they wouldn’t cooperate at the scene of the crime. Gascón said there are many reasons a victim wouldn’t feel comfortable talking to police immediately. He hopes lawmakers will eventually extend that provision to include juvenile victims.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ayoola Mitchell agrees that the new law is just a start. The Mill Valley resident said two of her sons were shot in separate Oakland incidents several years ago. While the family received help when one was killed, a year and a half earlier, when her oldest son was shot 17 times and survived, he was deemed ineligible for victim funds because police said he wasn’t cooperative enough. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so part of the work that I want to see happen … is redefining what it means to not cooperate with law enforcement, because making certain requests to protect yourself is not the same as saying I am not talking to you,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But some people thought the board’s rules had \u003ca href=\"http://www.safeandjust.org/news-media/victimsreport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">become outdated\u003c/a> — and \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB1140\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AB1140\u003c/a>, which takes effect next month, seeks to bring things into the 21st century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our concern was that we, in our practice, often saw victims not getting the services they needed because of restrictions around the rules,” said \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón, who helped craft the law by Assemblyman Rob Bonta and Sen. Loni Hancock, both Oakland Democrats. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of the new law’s provisions recognize lessons learned in recent years — including the fact that victims and criminal offenders can be the same people, Gascón said. Current law bars people on probation or parole for a felony from seeking compensation, even if they are the victim of a separate crime. AB1140 will change that for people on probation or parole for a nonviolent crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='”100%”' height='”166″'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/239707162″&visual=true&”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false”'\n title='”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/239707162″'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of the offenders are people that were victimized earlier. And they were traumatized in violence and victimization was normalized in their life, and they start themselves become the aggressors and victimizing others,” Gascón said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It is also being more realistic how victims are going to react to the criminal justice process. And frankly it’s being more humane,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new law \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">also changes the rules so that domestic violence survivors won’t be barred from receiving help just because they wouldn’t cooperate at the scene of the crime. Gascón said there are many reasons a victim wouldn’t feel comfortable talking to police immediately. He hopes lawmakers will eventually extend that provision to include juvenile victims.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ayoola Mitchell agrees that the new law is just a start. The Mill Valley resident said two of her sons were shot in separate Oakland incidents several years ago. While the family received help when one was killed, a year and a half earlier, when her oldest son was shot 17 times and survived, he was deemed ineligible for victim funds because police said he wasn’t cooperative enough. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so part of the work that I want to see happen … is redefining what it means to not cooperate with law enforcement, because making certain requests to protect yourself is not the same as saying I am not talking to you,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
