I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Bill Clinton was president and Republican Pete Wilson was governor. Two years earlier, led by Democrats, Congress had passed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/6/20/18677998/joe-biden-1994-crime-bill-law-mass-incarceration\">national crime bill\u003c/a>, while California voters overwhelmingly approved the state’s draconian \u003ca href=\"https://www.courts.ca.gov/20142.htm#:~:text=California's%20Three%20Strikes%20sentencing%20law%20was%20originally%20enacted%20in%201994,otherwise%20provided%20for%20the%20crime\">three-strikes law\u003c/a> a few months later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a movement that crossed party lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I found myself standing before a judge … where I was being sentenced and tried as an adult and basically told that I was gonna go to prison for the rest of my life,” Mendoza recalled. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(I was) called the super predator, a monster, a kid who was never going to succeed … At that age, I couldn’t fathom or understand why I was being thrown away. And it felt really hopeless,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza likely would have spent the rest of his life in prison. But in 2013, state lawmakers passed \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB260\">a bill\u003c/a> allowing parole hearings for inmates like him, who committed their crimes as juveniles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jessica Levinson, Loyola Law School\"]‘What’s gonna hurt Gov. Newsom more? Is it a story that there was a coronavirus explosion in prisons, or is it a story that a prisoner he released committed a heinous crime? I think it’s probably door number two.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even in the face of a 2011 U.S. Supreme Court order to reduce the state’s prison population, that legislation is the type of go-slow, incremental approach to prison release that California has embraced over the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal court order to reduce the inmate population is still in place – and now, with COVID-19 exploding in state prisons, Gov. Gavin Newsom has moved to release thousands of state prisoners early.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s decision is being criticized by criminal justice hardliners as as a threat to public safety even as advocates for prisoners say it doesn’t go far enough. More than \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/covid19/population-status-tracking/\">8,300 prisoners have tested positive for COVID-19 and 50 inmates have died\u003c/a> so far from coronavirus complications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza, who is now national director of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.thedreamcorps.org/our-programs/cut50/\">#Cut50 campaign\u003c/a>, which aims to reduce both incarceration and crime across the nation, said it’s not surprising that Newsom hasn’t gone even further with those releases, offering them only to people who would be getting out within six months anyway or are at severe risk of dying from COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe that within the last five governors, starting from 2000 till now, (criminal justice reform) has been piecemeal and it’s been piecemeal because of the scare tactics and the Willie Horton stories and the politics,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Willie Horton. It’s a name that inevitably comes up when you talk about the intersection of politics and criminal justice. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Horton, a Black man, was used in Republican campaign ads to attack Democrat Michael Dukakis during the 1988 presidential race against George H.W. Bush. Horton, a convicted murderer, was furloughed from prison for a weekend and went on to commit rape, assault and robbery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io9KMSSEZ0Y\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the nightmare scenario for any politician, said Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What governors don’t want when we’re talking about prisoner release is the headline that says, ‘Gov. Newsom released this prisoner and then they did this egregious thing,’ ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even a progressive Democrat in a deep-blue state will consider the political tradeoffs, Levinson said. She noted that under both Newsom and his predecessor, Jerry Brown, the state only moved to cut the prison population under duress: first a court order, now a global pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s gonna hurt Gov. Newsom more? Is it a story that there was a coronavirus explosion in the prisons or is it a story that a prisoner that he released committed a heinous crime? I think it’s probably door number two, and I think that could be part of his reticence,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Leno spent 14 years in the state Legislature starting in 2002. He had a front-row seat to the state’s evolution on criminal justice policy over that period, as voters became more disillusioned with prison spending and more open to rolling back the harsh laws of the 1990s. He acknowledged that just one Willie Horton can do lasting political damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11830217 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Image-from-iOS-5-1.jpg']“Just one, just one. That’s all you need. One horrible situation where someone re-offends in a very unpleasant, brutal way,” Leno said. “And so that’s always in the back of someone’s mind. And nothing is foolproof. Nothing is 100% … There is risk involved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leno was among the Democrats pushing most aggressively for more prison releases during his time in the Legislature, and he came up against staunch opposition, even when the \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=200920100SB1399\">prisoners in question were comatose\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’d think that would be the low-hanging fruit, that would be the slam dunk,” he said of the bill to release medically incapacitated prisoners, who were costing the state tens of millions of dollars a year. “We got a lot of resistance to this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leno noted that it wasn’t just the Supreme Court order that finally prompted state leaders to consider laws aimed at reducing the prison population: It was that order, combined with a state budget crisis, as well as shifting public opinion. Many of the most significant criminal justice reforms enacted in California over the past decade were passed by voters, not lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those who have voted against those types of laws consistently is state Sen.

Bill Clinton was president and Republican Pete Wilson was governor. Two years earlier, led by Democrats, Congress had passed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/6/20/18677998/joe-biden-1994-crime-bill-law-mass-incarceration\">national crime bill\u003c/a>, while California voters overwhelmingly approved the state’s draconian \u003ca href=\"https://www.courts.ca.gov/20142.htm#:~:text=California's%20Three%20Strikes%20sentencing%20law%20was%20originally%20enacted%20in%201994,otherwise%20provided%20for%20the%20crime\">three-strikes law\u003c/a> a few months later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a movement that crossed party lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I found myself standing before a judge … where I was being sentenced and tried as an adult and basically told that I was gonna go to prison for the rest of my life,” Mendoza recalled. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(I was) called the super predator, a monster, a kid who was never going to succeed … At that age, I couldn’t fathom or understand why I was being thrown away. And it felt really hopeless,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza likely would have spent the rest of his life in prison. But in 2013, state lawmakers passed \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB260\">a bill\u003c/a> allowing parole hearings for inmates like him, who committed their crimes as juveniles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Newsom released this prisoner and then they did this egregious thing,’ ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even a progressive Democrat in a deep-blue state will consider the political tradeoffs, Levinson said. She noted that under both Newsom and his predecessor, Jerry Brown, the state only moved to cut the prison population under duress: first a court order, now a global pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s gonna hurt Gov. Newsom more? Is it a story that there was a coronavirus explosion in the prisons or is it a story that a prisoner that he released committed a heinous crime? I think it’s probably door number two, and I think that could be part of his reticence,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Leno spent 14 years in the state Legislature starting in 2002. He had a front-row seat to the state’s evolution on criminal justice policy over that period, as voters became more disillusioned with prison spending and more open to rolling back the harsh laws of the 1990s. He acknowledged that just one Willie Horton can do lasting political damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom announced that on Tuesday the state had recorded more than 12,000 new coronavirus cases — its largest daily total yet. California now has the largest number of COVID-19 cases in the nation, surpassing New York, and California’s rates of hospitalization and death due to the respiratory illness have also soared in recent weeks. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, Senate Republicans are struggling to craft a new round of federal aid.

Democrats on Capitol Hill are pushing for a $3 trillion relief package passed in the House of Representatives in May that would include aid to states like California facing massive budget deficits.

In 2018, the House district in which the campus resides was caught up in the Blue Wave — sending freshman Democrat Gil Cisneros to Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We got our butts kicked, to be honest,” Schulz said, the club’s spokesman and former president. “To work on that, we were doing a lot more campaigning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the club’s plans for hosting campus events, canvassing the district and registering voters came to a screeching halt in mid-March, when Cal Poly Pomona — like schools around the state — shifted to virtual learning in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The school’s College Republicans didn’t meet for the rest of the semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the pandemic is threatening to scatter students away from campuses in the fall, when California will mail a ballot to every registered voter as a COVID-19-safe alternative to voting in person. The closures could discourage the efforts of campus groups, and make the prospects of turning out the college vote, already a difficult proposition in normal times, even more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be pretty bad, to be honest,” Schulz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A decline in turnout could have a significant impact in the Pomona Valley and nearby northern Orange County, an area home to a large college population, where a decline in the student vote could affect competitive races up and down the ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"David Becker, Center for Election Innovation and Research\"]‘As we (question) whether college campuses are going to open up in the fall, the ability to do outreach to large numbers of people is going to be severely limited.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates for democratic engagement on college campuses are urging higher education leaders and faculty to take creative approaches to encourage voting, while students are adapting their get-out-the-vote methods for the Zoom age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As difficult as it is for someone like me to vote during a pandemic, the college student population is a particularly difficult one,” said Adam Gismondi, director of impact at the Institute for Democracy & Higher Education at the Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because most students are mobile, they often move addresses while they’re in college. So it’s a really tangled web right now to work through.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March, California set a record for turnout in a primary election, fueling hopes of another surge in participation this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then came the virus, and closures that dashed plans for voter registration efforts at university student centers, shopping malls and front doors across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Voter Registration Challenges\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>New voter registrations across the country plummeted in the spring, according to data compiled by the \u003ca href=\"https://electioninnovation.org/new-voter-registrations-in-2020/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center for Election Innovation and Research, \u003c/a>in Washington. Registrations in California were down sharply in April, compared to the same month in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike four years ago, California’s primary was already over by April. But the top reason for the registration drop-off was closures at the state’s DMV offices, where drivers license and state ID transactions automatically trigger a voter registration, said David Becker, the center’s executive director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An early study of the DMV automatic voter registration program \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/implementing-automated-voter-registration-in-california.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">didn’t find wide adoption\u003c/a> by younger voters. But the pandemic could also pose challenges for a physically distanced form of sign up: online voter registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s fundamentally a fairly passive tool, people need to know to look for it,” Becker said. “And as we have questions about whether college campuses are going to open up in the fall, the ability to do outreach to large numbers of people is going to be severely limited.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if registration efforts improve, the curtailed openings of campuses in the state present a hurdle for ensuring a smooth voting experience for many undergraduates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11829865\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1642px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11829865\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration.jpg\" alt=\"A man walks in front of a DMV office in San Francisco on May 8, 2020.\" width=\"1642\" height=\"1045\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration.jpg 1642w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration-800x509.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration-1020x649.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration-160x102.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration-1536x978.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1642px) 100vw, 1642px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A man walks in front of a DMV office in San Francisco on May 8, 2020. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>College students are a mobile population in general, with many moving between dorms, off-campus housing and their childhood homes. Students who are registered to vote may need to update their information in order to receive a ballot at the correct address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If more students can vote at home, it reduces the chance of long lines at in-person ballot sites, which could be fewer in number than in previous years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The need to communicate with voters is going to be particularly crucial in this year,” Becker said. “Having good information on the voter lists is the core of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Bigger Impact on Southern California Races?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The student vote could be especially important in the districts stretching north from Orange County, through Fullerton and La Habra, to the Los Angeles County cities of Diamond Bar and Pomona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There, more than 100,000 students attend Cal State Fullerton, Mt. San Antonio College, Cal Poly Pomona and Fullerton College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the November ballot, voters in the area will decide on a rematch between Democratic Congressman Gil Cisneros (D-Yorba Linda) and Republican Young Kim, the former state Assemblywoman who lost to Cisneros by fewer than 8,000 votes in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the similarly shaped 29th State Senate District, Sen. Ling-Ling Chang (R-Diamond Bar) will defend her seat against Democrat Josh Newman. Newman defeated Chang in the 2016 election, but was recalled by voters in June of 2018, with Chang regaining the seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in the 55th Assembly District, incumbent Phillip Chen (R-Brea) is facing a challenge from Andrew Rodriguez, a Democratic councilman from Walnut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More Politics' tag='politics']In these tight races, Democratic candidates are relying on a boost from reliably liberal college voters. According to the California Target Book, “precincts adjacent to college campuses that have high concentration of voters between the ages of 18 to 34 can easily award over 90% of their votes to a Democratic candidate in a typical D vs. R race, and net the Democratic candidate thousands of raw votes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The College Democrats at Cal State Fullerton planned to spend the year focusing on those three races, said Andrew Levy, the group’s president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, \u003ca href=\"http://news.fullerton.edu/2019fa/student-voting-rates.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">voter engagement surged\u003c/a> on the Fullerton campus, with the voting rate increasing by nearly a third over the previous mid-term election.

Voters passed \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_209,_Affirmative_Action_Initiative_(1996)\">Proposition 209\u003c/a> in 1996 with support from then-Gov. Pete Wilson. It prohibited the state from considering race, gender and ethnic diversity in hiring, contracting and college admissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, D-San Diego, the chair of the Black Caucus, authored the bill. During the Assembly floor debate, she said the current state of the country demonstrates that race and gender still matter.

Holly Mitchell, D- Los Angeles, said there’s an inability — or a refusal — to acknowledge that slaves built the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And the reason we have such a hard time having that conversation is because people are afraid that, in order to share power or resources, you might have to give something up,” she said. “I get that. And that’s what makes it difficult.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ACA 5 needed a two-thirds vote in each Legislative house to be placed on the ballot. While it easily met that threshold in both chambers, the amendment still faced some opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Melissa Melendez, R-Lake Elsinore, voted against sending the amendment to voters. She said she rejects the notion that either the state or the country is racist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California already has a number of, essentially, affirmative action type regulations in place. That’s a fact,” Melendez said. “Can we do more? We can. But is the answer to answer what one thinks is discrimination with more discrimination? No, it’s not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mitchell said we must acknowledge we’re not living in a colorblind society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In actuality, the data suggest the complete opposite. That our society is distinctly unequal along clear racial and gender stratifications,” she said,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previous efforts to modify the state’s affirmative action ban have failed. But supporters believe the current mood of the country could help this attempt be successful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second measure placed on the November ballot would grant the right to vote to the roughly 40,000 Californians on parole for a felony.

Steven Bradford, D-Gardena. Black Californians make up just 6% of the state’s population, but represent more than a quarter of the state’s parolees, according to a 2018 study from the Public Policy Institute of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without the ability to vote, their voices are silent and they have no voice in what we call a democracy,” Bradford said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of the idea argued that Californians on parole should not be able to fully participate in civil society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A part of their sentence includes the parole period of adjustment to free society, to see if they have rehabilitated sufficiently to be able to be safe risks in their community,” said Sen. Jim Nielsen, R-Tehama. [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Andreas Borgeas, R-Fresno, argued that ACA 6 — combined with recent state initiatives allowing earlier parole opportunities — would grant the right to vote to many Californians who would have been barred from doing so under the original terms of their felony conviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We’re short-cutting it under this guise that they’ve already satisfied those conditions to community,” he said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only Republican to join the supermajority of Democrats approving the two ballot measures was Sen. Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilk is the only Republican representing a Senate district in which more than 10% of the population is Black, and the seat is expected to be among the state’s most competitive legislative contests in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Broadly, it would make it easier to charge someone with felony theft and easier to send someone back to jail for violating their probation; and harder for many inmates to earn parole from state prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would do so by reversing aspects of three laws — two enacted by voters — aimed at both reducing the number of people in crowded prisons and jails and the amount of money the state spends locking people up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past five years, one of those measures — \u003ca href=\"https://vig.cdn.sos.ca.gov/2014/general/en/pdf/proposition-47-title-summary-analysis.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proposition 47\u003c/a> — has allowed $350 million to be\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11796149/voter-approved-criminal-justice-reform-expected-to-save-state-over-122-million\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> redirected\u003c/a> from prisons to victims services, schools and treatment programs. Prop. 47 reduced many nonviolent and drug-related crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, and allowed people previously convicted of those offenses to petition a court to have them reduced to misdemeanors. It took the savings achieved from lower prison and jail populations and redirected them toward community programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the November initiative would reverse portions of Prop. 47, making it easier to charge someone with felony theft. The report estimates that change alone could result in an additional 4,900 to 9,900 felony arrests per year — costing taxpayers an additional $154 million to $457 million a year in court, probation, jail and prison costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So the big takeaway for us on the fiscal side, at least, is that this is going to be hugely expensive,” Washburn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, she added, “I think that the far greater costs of an initiative like this are going to be borne by communities and families and people that are swept up in a more punitive system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ballot measure also seeks to roll back some aspects of \u003ca href=\"https://vig.cdn.sos.ca.gov/2016/general/en/pdf/text-proposed-laws.pdf#prop57\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proposition 57\u003c/a>, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11114572/jerry-brown-pushes-earlier-release-of-felons-under-proposition-57\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2016 ballot measure written by former Gov. Jerry Brown\u003c/a>; and Assembly Bill 109, which lawmakers approved in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 57 gave some state prisoners the opportunity to shorten their sentences by participating in rehabilitation programs. State officials say by next year, it will have resulted in some 8,600 inmates serving shorter prison sentences, and is saving taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.courts.ca.gov/partners/documents/chronicle_prison_reform_article_10-2-2011.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AB 109, also known as realignment\u003c/a>, requires people convicted of nonviolent, nonserious, nonsexual crimes to serve their sentences in local jails instead of state prisons. It\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11108031/five-years-later-many-see-criminal-justice-realignment-as-success\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> helped reduce the state’s prison population by tens of thousands of inmates\u003c/a>, and was intended to address a U.S. Supreme Court order to reduce the population in California’s overcrowded prisons. The courts found that the overcrowding was resulting in inadequate medical care and violating inmates’ constitutional rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the CJCJ report states that many of the gains made by Propositions 47 and 57, and AB 109, would be reversed if the proposed ballot measure is approved by voters. In the first five years, it could drive up state costs by $2.3 billion, money that could otherwise be spent on “programs that address the root causes of crime,” the report states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also states it would drive up prison and jail populations, potentially putting California in violation of the Supreme Court order, leading to more lawsuits and forcing county sheriffs to release some inmates early.[aside tag=\"politics\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More generally, the report finds, the initiative would pull more people into the criminal justice system — and by prioritizing punishment over treatment, “could result in more people trapped in a pattern of low-level crime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Assemblyman Jim Cooper, a former police officer who helped write the measure, said he does not believe it will lead to a drastic increase in jail or prison populations.

This isn't a radio version of a magazine, but something all its own, reflecting the rich possibilities of audio storytelling and conversation. Theme music for the show was composed and performed by Merrill Garbus of tUnE-YArDs.",
