The state also has spent billions of dollars on new medical facilities and equipment, while the number of prison medical, mental health and dental workers more than doubled over six years, to 12,200 in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials decided California could not comply with the federal court orders simply by building more prisons, so under Brown's direction decided to sentence lower-level offenders to county jails. Those convicted of crimes that are considered serious, violent or sexual still go to state prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Counties are receiving about $865 million to help with jail operations under realignment this fiscal year, an amount that is expected to exceed $1 billion next year. Given the number of new inmates, some sheriffs are questioning whether that will be enough, especially if lawsuits force them to spend even more so conditions meet constitutional standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican state Sen. Anthony Cannella of Ceres has proposed legislation, SB144, that would funnel any money the state saves through realignment back to local communities. His office estimates that would give local governments about $777 million more each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the operating money, the state has given $1.2 billion to 21 of California's 58 counties for jail construction, plus another $500 million to renovate existing jails. The money is expected to build space for nearly 15,000 local inmates over the next several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Corrections Secretary Jeffrey Beard and the governor acknowledge that counties are facing a surge of more serious criminals as a result of the realignment law.

Those convicted of crimes that are considered serious, violent or sexual still go to state prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Counties are receiving about $865 million to help with jail operations under realignment this fiscal year, an amount that is expected to exceed $1 billion next year. Given the number of new inmates, some sheriffs are questioning whether that will be enough, especially if lawsuits force them to spend even more so conditions meet constitutional standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican state Sen. Anthony Cannella of Ceres has proposed legislation, SB144, that would funnel any money the state saves through realignment back to local communities. His office estimates that would give local governments about $777 million more each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the operating money, the state has given $1.2 billion to 21 of California's 58 counties for jail construction, plus another $500 million to renovate existing jails. The money is expected to build space for nearly 15,000 local inmates over the next several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Corrections Secretary Jeffrey Beard and the governor acknowledge that counties are facing a surge of more serious criminals as a result of the realignment law. Yet the Democratic governor is steadfast in his view that local governments are better able to make punishment decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, Cantil-Sakauye has been trying to make the case for restoring the courts’ funding. California’s system, which includes 58 trial courts, six courts of appeal and the Supreme Court, has about 2,000 judicial officers and 18,000 court employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Gov. Jerry Brown’s proposed budget takes $200 million from court construction funds as a way to postpone additional cutbacks. He also proposes delaying repayment of a $90 million court construction loan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cantil-Sakauye said that California spends about 1 percent of the state’s general fund on its court system while other states typically spend 2 percent. She warned that as more courtrooms close and fees go up, fewer people will be able to access justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I submit to you in the most diverse state in the union, that a penny on the dollar is insufficient to provide justice,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown’s finance spokesman, H.D. Palmer, said the governor has tried to maintain stable funding for the courts throughout the recession while other areas such as public schools and universities have endured deep cuts. Palmer said state grants to seniors and the disabled have been cut to their lowest levels since 1982 and that the state’s welfare-to-work program has been cut to 1987 levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we have been able to do through a combination of fees and transfers is to keep operations stable,” he said of the court budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic lawmakers voiced support for the chief justice, saying they would like to restore funding to the trial courts. Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski, D-Fremont, chairman of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, said he would like restore $475 million by lowering the amount set aside for reserves in the governor’s proposed budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a multiyear challenge, but I think the call has gone out to stop the tidewaters from coming in,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet Republican Sen. Jim Nielsen said the budget situation has not improved significantly enough to restore full funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The courts, I think, are deserving of some improvement,” said Nielsen, R-Gerber. “Full restoration we can’t promise right now. The budget is not at all fixed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, the state judicial council voted to delay 11 courthouse construction projects in case none of that money is restored this year. The contingency plan comes after the council voted in January to indefinitely delay court construction in Sacramento, Nevada, Los Angeles and Fresno counties while money is being spent to replace a Long Beach courthouse damaged by an earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout her 20-minute speech, the chief justice weaved the story of Clarence Gideon, a 50-year-old Florida man who was denied an attorney when he was accused of breaking into a pool hall and stealing cash. As a result of his appeal from his prison cell, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1963 that criminal defendants have a right to legal representation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To have your day in court, you need a courtroom,” she said. “And I will say that what we once counted on, that courts will be open and ready and available to deliver prompt justice, is no longer true in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cantil-Sakauye said some people in San Bernardino County have to drive two hours to get to court, and she warned of “unconscionable delays” in civil cases dealing with wrongful termination or discrimination, creating a crisis in civil rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2010, the chief justice said 30 courts have cut hours, 22 courthouses have closed, 114 courtrooms have closed and 2,600 people have either been laid off or their positions have been left vacant through attrition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Fresno County will close seven courthouses and San Bernardino will close three, while Los Angeles County will close 67 courtrooms and eliminate 500 positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a stop in Sacramento last week, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy said the political branches of government have an “absolute obligation” to make sure the judicial branch can function. He said trial courts have no way to control the number of cases coming in.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, Cantil-Sakauye has been trying to make the case for restoring the courts’ funding. California’s system, which includes 58 trial courts, six courts of appeal and the Supreme Court, has about 2,000 judicial officers and 18,000 court employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Gov. Jerry Brown’s proposed budget takes $200 million from court construction funds as a way to postpone additional cutbacks. He also proposes delaying repayment of a $90 million court construction loan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cantil-Sakauye said that California spends about 1 percent of the state’s general fund on its court system while other states typically spend 2 percent. She warned that as more courtrooms close and fees go up, fewer people will be able to access justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I submit to you in the most diverse state in the union, that a penny on the dollar is insufficient to provide justice,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown’s finance spokesman, H.D. Palmer, said the governor has tried to maintain stable funding for the courts throughout the recession while other areas such as public schools and universities have endured deep cuts. Palmer said state grants to seniors and the disabled have been cut to their lowest levels since 1982 and that the state’s welfare-to-work program has been cut to 1987 levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we have been able to do through a combination of fees and transfers is to keep operations stable,” he said of the court budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic lawmakers voiced support for the chief justice, saying they would like to restore funding to the trial courts. Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski, D-Fremont, chairman of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, said he would like restore $475 million by lowering the amount set aside for reserves in the governor’s proposed budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a multiyear challenge, but I think the call has gone out to stop the tidewaters from coming in,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet Republican Sen. Jim Nielsen said the budget situation has not improved significantly enough to restore full funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The courts, I think, are deserving of some improvement,” said Nielsen, R-Gerber. “Full restoration we can’t promise right now. The budget is not at all fixed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, the state judicial council voted to delay 11 courthouse construction projects in case none of that money is restored this year. The contingency plan comes after the council voted in January to indefinitely delay court construction in Sacramento, Nevada, Los Angeles and Fresno counties while money is being spent to replace a Long Beach courthouse damaged by an earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout her 20-minute speech, the chief justice weaved the story of Clarence Gideon, a 50-year-old Florida man who was denied an attorney when he was accused of breaking into a pool hall and stealing cash. As a result of his appeal from his prison cell, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1963 that criminal defendants have a right to legal representation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To have your day in court, you need a courtroom,” she said. “And I will say that what we once counted on, that courts will be open and ready and available to deliver prompt justice, is no longer true in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cantil-Sakauye said some people in San Bernardino County have to drive two hours to get to court, and she warned of “unconscionable delays” in civil cases dealing with wrongful termination or discrimination, creating a crisis in civil rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2010, the chief justice said 30 courts have cut hours, 22 courthouses have closed, 114 courtrooms have closed and 2,600 people have either been laid off or their positions have been left vacant through attrition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Fresno County will close seven courthouses and San Bernardino will close three, while Los Angeles County will close 67 courtrooms and eliminate 500 positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a stop in Sacramento last week, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy said the political branches of government have an “absolute obligation” to make sure the judicial branch can function. He said trial courts have no way to control the number of cases coming in.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

U.S. District Court Judge Thelton Henderson lost patience with the city’s progress on these reforms last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To bring the department into compliance, Frazier will have to address a history of tensions that go back at least to its violent clashes with the Black Panther movement of the 1960s and '70s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civil rights violations came to the surface in the 1990s when a handful of rogue officers, known as the Riders, were accused of planting evidence, beating suspects and falsifying reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such abuses led directly to the 2003 consent decree, but it was “consent” on paper only, at least in the first few years after it was signed, according to John Burris, one of the attorneys behind the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The culture of the department is fundamentally resistant to change,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the department has struggled with a constantly shuffling leadership, Burris pointed out. It has had three new chiefs since 2005. (Coincidentally, one of them, Anthony Batts, is now Baltimore's police commissioner.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frazier will be paid $270,000 a year. Technically he will serve as compliance director, working on civil rights issues while Chief Howard Jordan focuses on law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think he will see himself as running the department,” said Burris. “I think he will be supporting Jordan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Frazier will have the \u003ca href=\"#authority\">authority\u003c/a> to fire Jordan, and Keane speculated that Jordan will find himself chief in name only.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Frazier's position will be equivalent to a \"czar.\" \"This has never been done in terms of a major American city,\" he said. \"I would suspect that Chief Jordan is not going to be comfortable. I would think someone in Jordan’s position will be looking for greener pastures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To complicate the picture further, Oakland just retained William Bratton, the former New York police commissioner and former Los Angeles police chief, as a consultant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some clues about how Frazier might work on the department come from his past, both as Baltimore police commissioner (a position equivalent to police chief) and as director of the Justice Department's \u003ca href=\"http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS)\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frazier was one of the first, if not the first, Baltimore police commissioner who came to the job from outside the department, said Jeffrey Ian Ross, a criminologist at the University of Baltimore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a recognition that if you want someone to shake things up, you’re going to need someone who is external,” said Ross.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He remembers Frazier instituting efforts to improve relations between the police and the community, such as a 311 non-emergency phone number and police athletic leagues. He also gives Frazier credit for instituting a system for tracking crime statistics, similar to New York’s CompStat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frazier’s approach didn't always sit well with the officers he supervised, according to a 1994 article in the \u003ca href=\"http://articles.baltimoresun.com/keyword/rotation-policy/featured/5\">Baltimore Sun\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The newspaper’s description of the department then sounds a bit like Oakland 2013:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>an agency dogged by brutality complaints, petty corruption, and internal strife fueled by racial friction. The city was reeling from its second-straight record-setting year for homicides.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Frazier ordered raids on drug-ridden neighborhoods, followed by visits from sanitation crews to clean up the mess left behind, the newspaper reported. The city's murder rate dropped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But beat officers criticized him as “TV Tom” for his frequent appearances on television, the paper said. And they grumbled that he didn't support them when they were accused of brutality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He infuriated some detectives by rotating them into patrol shifts, according to reports at the time. Frazier defended the practice as a way of giving more officers opportunity for advancement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another story, the Sun recounted\u003ca href=\"http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1997-05-02/news/1997122044_1_frazier-colonel-daniel-black-officers\"> allegations \u003c/a>that Frazier favored white officers over black ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At COPS, Frazier encouraged other police departments to institute \u003ca href=\"http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/Default.asp?Item=36\">community policing\u003c/a>, a set of techniques aimed at making police departments more accountable, systematic and cooperative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t underestimate the kind of experience you get there,” said Ross. “The guy has a big picture kind of vision, unlike a lot of police chiefs and commissioners who have tunnel vision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"authority\">\u003cstrong>Here is the agreement spelling out Frazier's authority over the Oakland Police Department:\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca title=\"View Agreement Between Oakland and Civil Rights Plaintiffs on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/128911762/Agreement-Between-Oakland-and-Civil-Rights-Plaintiffs\">Agreement Between Oakland and Civil Rights Plaintiffs\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.scribd.com/embeds/128911762/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

And he oversaw consent decrees at the Los Angeles and Detroit police departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as a consultant, Frazier \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/news/story/2012/06/15/97721/opd_city_officials_caught_off_guard_with_findings_in\">criticized\u003c/a> the Oakland Police Department for its harsh tactics in the face of the Occupy Oakland protests of 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Frazier’s background is tailor-made for this job,” said Keane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The appointment results from civil rights violations that led to a lawsuit and a consent decree in which the city of Oakland agreed to a series of reforms. U.S. District Court Judge Thelton Henderson lost patience with the city’s progress on these reforms last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To bring the department into compliance, Frazier will have to address a history of tensions that go back at least to its violent clashes with the Black Panther movement of the 1960s and '70s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civil rights violations came to the surface in the 1990s when a handful of rogue officers, known as the Riders, were accused of planting evidence, beating suspects and falsifying reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such abuses led directly to the 2003 consent decree, but it was “consent” on paper only, at least in the first few years after it was signed, according to John Burris, one of the attorneys behind the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The culture of the department is fundamentally resistant to change,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the department has struggled with a constantly shuffling leadership, Burris pointed out. It has had three new chiefs since 2005. (Coincidentally, one of them, Anthony Batts, is now Baltimore's police commissioner.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frazier will be paid $270,000 a year. Technically he will serve as compliance director, working on civil rights issues while Chief Howard Jordan focuses on law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think he will see himself as running the department,” said Burris. “I think he will be supporting Jordan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Frazier will have the \u003ca href=\"#authority\">authority\u003c/a> to fire Jordan, and Keane speculated that Jordan will find himself chief in name only.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Frazier's position will be equivalent to a \"czar.\" \"This has never been done in terms of a major American city,\" he said. \"I would suspect that Chief Jordan is not going to be comfortable. I would think someone in Jordan’s position will be looking for greener pastures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To complicate the picture further, Oakland just retained William Bratton, the former New York police commissioner and former Los Angeles police chief, as a consultant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some clues about how Frazier might work on the department come from his past, both as Baltimore police commissioner (a position equivalent to police chief) and as director of the Justice Department's \u003ca href=\"http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS)\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frazier was one of the first, if not the first, Baltimore police commissioner who came to the job from outside the department, said Jeffrey Ian Ross, a criminologist at the University of Baltimore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a recognition that if you want someone to shake things up, you’re going to need someone who is external,” said Ross.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He remembers Frazier instituting efforts to improve relations between the police and the community, such as a 311 non-emergency phone number and police athletic leagues. He also gives Frazier credit for instituting a system for tracking crime statistics, similar to New York’s CompStat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frazier’s approach didn't always sit well with the officers he supervised, according to a 1994 article in the \u003ca href=\"http://articles.baltimoresun.com/keyword/rotation-policy/featured/5\">Baltimore Sun\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The newspaper’s description of the department then sounds a bit like Oakland 2013:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>an agency dogged by brutality complaints, petty corruption, and internal strife fueled by racial friction. The city was reeling from its second-straight record-setting year for homicides.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Frazier ordered raids on drug-ridden neighborhoods, followed by visits from sanitation crews to clean up the mess left behind, the newspaper reported. The city's murder rate dropped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But beat officers criticized him as “TV Tom” for his frequent appearances on television, the paper said. And they grumbled that he didn't support them when they were accused of brutality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He infuriated some detectives by rotating them into patrol shifts, according to reports at the time. Frazier defended the practice as a way of giving more officers opportunity for advancement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another story, the Sun recounted\u003ca href=\"http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1997-05-02/news/1997122044_1_frazier-colonel-daniel-black-officers\"> allegations \u003c/a>that Frazier favored white officers over black ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At COPS, Frazier encouraged other police departments to institute \u003ca href=\"http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/Default.asp?Item=36\">community policing\u003c/a>, a set of techniques aimed at making police departments more accountable, systematic and cooperative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t underestimate the kind of experience you get there,” said Ross. “The guy has a big picture kind of vision, unlike a lot of police chiefs and commissioners who have tunnel vision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"authority\">\u003cstrong>Here is the agreement spelling out Frazier's authority over the Oakland Police Department:\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca title=\"View Agreement Between Oakland and Civil Rights Plaintiffs on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/128911762/Agreement-Between-Oakland-and-Civil-Rights-Plaintiffs\">Agreement Between Oakland and Civil Rights Plaintiffs\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.scribd.com/embeds/128911762/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
