Brown’s legacy and ahead to the challenges and opportunities facing Gov.-elect Newsom.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Over the past eight years, Brown oversaw a dramatic shift in how California approaches criminal justice, including authoring a law that upended how the state treats nonviolent offenders and writing a ballot measure that rolled back the “lock ’em up” sentencing philosophy he championed in 1976. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time around, the governor appointed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714131/browns-longest-lasting-legacy-judges\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more than 600 judges\u003c/a>, including four to the state’s high court who represent not just more women and people of color, but also a much broader set of career experiences and philosophical backgrounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he’s gone much further than he did in the 1970s and 1980s: Over his final two terms, Brown issued 1,189 pardons and 152 commutations — dwarfing any of his predecessors and his own previous record, when he issued 404 pardons and just one commutation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s also vetoed dozens of bills that would have created new crimes and signed numerous sentencing reforms that give offenders chances at shorter sentences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brown’s Evolution on Criminal Justice\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some ways, Brown’s evolution tracks with that of California voters, who have embraced even further-reaching criminal justice reforms than the governor initially wanted. Both Brown and the electorate were encouraged down that path by a landmark legal case that resulted in the U.S. Supreme Court ordering the state to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2011/05/23/136579580/california-is-ordered-to-cut-its-prison-population\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reduce its prison population\u003c/a> by tens of thousands of inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, the state has about 34,000 fewer people in state prisons than it did when Brown was sworn into the governor’s office in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gov. Brown has presided over a legacy of criminal justice reform that is really unmatched across the country,” said Stanford University’s Michael Romano, who runs the university’s Three Strikes Project and helped write two of the recent criminal justice ballot initiatives that Brown was not involved in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole United States prison population has come down over the past 10 years, and all of that reduction is a result of the reductions that we’ve seen in California. And at the same time, the crime rates in California from when these reforms started to kick in, in 2011, to today are down,” Romano said. “So we’ve been able to reduce our prison population, significantly reduce the amount of injustice in the system, and improve public safety. And Gov. Brown has presided over that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714131/browns-longest-lasting-legacy-judges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brown’s Longest-Lasting Legacy: Judges\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714131/browns-longest-lasting-legacy-judges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS4469_106397071-1180x787.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The governor’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714131/browns-longest-lasting-legacy-judges\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">judicial appointments\u003c/a> will leave a lasting imprint on the state, breaking the mold with candidates from diverse professional and personal backgrounds.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Romano credited Brown for his creative approach to the problem, saying the governor — the only person to ever lead California for four terms — understands the power of that office and what he called “the administrative state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted that both of the sweeping laws that Brown authored — Assembly Bill 109, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11107949/realignment-5-years-on-counties-build-jails-for-inmates-with-mental-illness\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">known as realignment\u003c/a>, and Proposition 57, which made broad changes to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11114572/jerry-brown-pushes-earlier-release-of-felons-under-proposition-57\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">parole rules\u003c/a> — did not rely on simply reducing criminal sentences or throwing the doors of prisons and jails open indiscriminately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He has not reduced a single sentence” with the changes in law, Romano said, “but he has shifted the responsibility and the incentives within the system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Proposition 57, which voters approved in 2016, that meant giving prison officials more flexibility to reward prisoners who have participated in rehabilitative programs with shorter sentences. Under AB 109, it meant redirecting most nonviolent offenders to county jails instead of state prisons to serve their sentences, giving counties more incentives to rehabilitate offenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown pushed both measures not only because he came to believe that many of the “tough on crime” laws of the 1980s and 1990s were a mistake, but because he had to. In the first months of his second administration, the U.S. Supreme Court issued that order, telling California its overcrowded prisons were unconstitutional because inmates were being denied medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the changes championed by the governor haven’t been without critics, Romano believes Brown’s approach was brilliant because it avoided the political pitfalls of releasing inmates early, and marshaled forces Brown had at his disposal within state government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This type of administrative reform has proven in some ways to be more effective than any other type of criminal justice reform and mass incarceration reform that we typically talk about,” Romano said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Too Much Change Too Quickly’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, not everyone is on board. Law enforcement groups opposed most of the major sentencing reforms that have been adopted in recent years, and continue to blame those changes for the increase in property crimes that some communities have experienced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan Hill Police Chief David Swing is president of the California Police Chiefs Association. He said there’s been a “sea change” in how the state approaches criminal justice under Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714250/governor-jerry-brown-on-leaving-office-leftover-campaign-cash-lessons-from-his-mother-and-car-shopping\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LISTEN: Gov.

Brown’s legacy and ahead to the challenges and opportunities facing Gov.-elect Newsom.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Over the past eight years, Brown oversaw a dramatic shift in how California approaches criminal justice, including authoring a law that upended how the state treats nonviolent offenders and writing a ballot measure that rolled back the “lock ’em up” sentencing philosophy he championed in 1976. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time around, the governor appointed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714131/browns-longest-lasting-legacy-judges\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more than 600 judges\u003c/a>, including four to the state’s high court who represent not just more women and people of color, but also a much broader set of career experiences and philosophical backgrounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he’s gone much further than he did in the 1970s and 1980s: Over his final two terms, Brown issued 1,189 pardons and 152 commutations — dwarfing any of his predecessors and his own previous record, when he issued 404 pardons and just one commutation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Both Brown and the electorate were encouraged down that path by a landmark legal case that resulted in the U.S. Supreme Court ordering the state to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2011/05/23/136579580/california-is-ordered-to-cut-its-prison-population\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reduce its prison population\u003c/a> by tens of thousands of inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, the state has about 34,000 fewer people in state prisons than it did when Brown was sworn into the governor’s office in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gov. Brown has presided over a legacy of criminal justice reform that is really unmatched across the country,” said Stanford University’s Michael Romano, who runs the university’s Three Strikes Project and helped write two of the recent criminal justice ballot initiatives that Brown was not involved in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole United States prison population has come down over the past 10 years, and all of that reduction is a result of the reductions that we’ve seen in California. And at the same time, the crime rates in California from when these reforms started to kick in, in 2011, to today are down,” Romano said. “So we’ve been able to reduce our prison population, significantly reduce the amount of injustice in the system, and improve public safety. And Gov. Brown has presided over that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714131/browns-longest-lasting-legacy-judges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brown’s Longest-Lasting Legacy: Judges\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714131/browns-longest-lasting-legacy-judges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS4469_106397071-1180x787.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The governor’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714131/browns-longest-lasting-legacy-judges\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">judicial appointments\u003c/a> will leave a lasting imprint on the state, breaking the mold with candidates from diverse professional and personal backgrounds.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Romano credited Brown for his creative approach to the problem, saying the governor — the only person to ever lead California for four terms — understands the power of that office and what he called “the administrative state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted that both of the sweeping laws that Brown authored — Assembly Bill 109, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11107949/realignment-5-years-on-counties-build-jails-for-inmates-with-mental-illness\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">known as realignment\u003c/a>, and Proposition 57, which made broad changes to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11114572/jerry-brown-pushes-earlier-release-of-felons-under-proposition-57\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">parole rules\u003c/a> — did not rely on simply reducing criminal sentences or throwing the doors of prisons and jails open indiscriminately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He has not reduced a single sentence” with the changes in law, Romano said, “but he has shifted the responsibility and the incentives within the system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Proposition 57, which voters approved in 2016, that meant giving prison officials more flexibility to reward prisoners who have participated in rehabilitative programs with shorter sentences. Under AB 109, it meant redirecting most nonviolent offenders to county jails instead of state prisons to serve their sentences, giving counties more incentives to rehabilitate offenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown pushed both measures not only because he came to believe that many of the “tough on crime” laws of the 1980s and 1990s were a mistake, but because he had to. In the first months of his second administration, the U.S. Supreme Court issued that order, telling California its overcrowded prisons were unconstitutional because inmates were being denied medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the changes championed by the governor haven’t been without critics, Romano believes Brown’s approach was brilliant because it avoided the political pitfalls of releasing inmates early, and marshaled forces Brown had at his disposal within state government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This type of administrative reform has proven in some ways to be more effective than any other type of criminal justice reform and mass incarceration reform that we typically talk about,” Romano said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Too Much Change Too Quickly’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, not everyone is on board. Law enforcement groups opposed most of the major sentencing reforms that have been adopted in recent years, and continue to blame those changes for the increase in property crimes that some communities have experienced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan Hill Police Chief David Swing is president of the California Police Chiefs Association.

Jerry Brown and approved by California voters in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On one side is a group that believes California has moved too far away from the tough-on-crime laws that proliferated here in the 1990s. They are pushing a\u003ca href=\"https://www.oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/17-0044%20%28Reducing%20Crime%29.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> ballot measure\u003c/a> that would roll back many of the parole changes championed by Brown, expand DNA collection to include people convicted of misdemeanors, and increase penalties for people convicted of theft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side are the governor and criminal justice reform advocates, who say that ballot measure goes too far and are supporting a bill that aims to close what critics see as a loophole in one of the recent criminal justice ballot measures, Proposition 47.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, lawmakers in a public safety committee will consider that proposed law, \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1065\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Assembly Bill 1065\u003c/a>. It would create a new crime for organized retail theft, so people who are shoplifting as part of a theft ring and operating across different counties can be charged with a felony. It’s a change that retailers, who are sponsoring the measure, have wanted for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As an industry we’ve seen increases in shoplifting and violence in our stores — it’s a nationwide trend,” said Bill Dombrowski, president of the California Retailers Association. “We have wanted an organized retail crime statute in California for more than 10 years. So we’re viewing this as an opportunity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dombrowski won’t blame Proposition 47, but critics say organized theft got worse after voters passed the ballot measure in 2014. It it best known for making most drug-possession charges misdemeanors instead of felonies. But it also increased the threshold for felony shoplifting and theft — from $450 to $950 — for the first time in decades. That means that people caught stealing goods worth less than $950 are now being charged with a misdemeanor in California, in some cases even if they do it again and again. AB 1065 would allow prosecutors to charge serial shoplifters as felons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But supporters of a proposed ballot measure argue that AB 1065 doesn’t go far enough. They include Democratic Assemblyman Jim Cooper of Elk Grove, a former police officer who is backing the competing ballot measure, which supporters have dubbed the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They say Proposition 47’s theft provisions aren’t the only problem — that another ballot measure, authored by Brown, is letting dangerous criminals free. Proposition 57\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11081078/gov-brown-sees-prop-57-as-key-to-ending-court-prison-oversight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> made it easier for many felons to get paroled from state prison\u003c/a>, especially if they participated in rehabilitation programs behind bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper recently \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/soapbox/article201464089.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">penned an op-ed in the Sacramento Bee\u003c/a>, arguing that there was a “hidden flaw” in Proposition 57.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While it promised to keep violent offenders in prison, the list of crimes considered violent under California law is remarkably short. The list doesn’t include raping an unconscious person, or pimping a child, or beating a spouse. Clearly, few voters knew this,” Cooper wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uncharacteristically, the governor \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/article202268219.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hit back with a letter to the editor.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don’t be fooled by Assemblymember Jim Cooper’s latest ploy to scare Californians into supporting his cynical and deeply flawed ballot initiative, which would gut key provisions of Proposition 57 and other criminal justice reforms,” Brown wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor also expressed his support for AB 1065 in a written statement to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We support this legislation and think this is a measured approach to helping address concerns raised by the retail and grocery industries,” the governor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big question is what happens next with the ballot measure — particularly if AB 1065 passes. Running an initiative campaign in California is expensive, and Dombrowski said his retail group has no interest in backing the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The proposed initiative would help us, probably, on the shoplifting side. It also contains a lot of other issues that (criminal) justice reform advocates would be very upset with,” he said. “I characterize it … one-third of what we want but two-thirds of it is stuff we don’t even want to touch. So as an industry, we’re not participating in Cooper’s initiative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers of the measure \u003ca href=\"http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Campaign/Committees/Detail.aspx?id=1399447&session=2017&view=general\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have about $107,000 in the bank\u003c/a>, most of it donated by grocery stores.

AB 1065 would allow prosecutors to charge serial shoplifters as felons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But supporters of a proposed ballot measure argue that AB 1065 doesn’t go far enough. They include Democratic Assemblyman Jim Cooper of Elk Grove, a former police officer who is backing the competing ballot measure, which supporters have dubbed the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They say Proposition 47’s theft provisions aren’t the only problem — that another ballot measure, authored by Brown, is letting dangerous criminals free. Proposition 57\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11081078/gov-brown-sees-prop-57-as-key-to-ending-court-prison-oversight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> made it easier for many felons to get paroled from state prison\u003c/a>, especially if they participated in rehabilitation programs behind bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper recently \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/soapbox/article201464089.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">penned an op-ed in the Sacramento Bee\u003c/a>, arguing that there was a “hidden flaw” in Proposition 57.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While it promised to keep violent offenders in prison, the list of crimes considered violent under California law is remarkably short. The list doesn’t include raping an unconscious person, or pimping a child, or beating a spouse. Clearly, few voters knew this,” Cooper wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uncharacteristically, the governor \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/article202268219.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hit back with a letter to the editor.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don’t be fooled by Assemblymember Jim Cooper’s latest ploy to scare Californians into supporting his cynical and deeply flawed ballot initiative, which would gut key provisions of Proposition 57 and other criminal justice reforms,” Brown wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor also expressed his support for AB 1065 in a written statement to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We support this legislation and think this is a measured approach to helping address concerns raised by the retail and grocery industries,” the governor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big question is what happens next with the ballot measure — particularly if AB 1065 passes. Running an initiative campaign in California is expensive, and Dombrowski said his retail group has no interest in backing the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The proposed initiative would help us, probably, on the shoplifting side. It also contains a lot of other issues that (criminal) justice reform advocates would be very upset with,” he said. “I characterize it … one-third of what we want but two-thirds of it is stuff we don’t even want to touch. So as an industry, we’re not participating in Cooper’s initiative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers of the measure \u003ca href=\"http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Campaign/Committees/Detail.aspx?id=1399447&session=2017&view=general\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have about $107,000 in the bank\u003c/a>, most of it donated by grocery stores.

And they had invited their friends.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 47 has been controversial in some quarters, with many law enforcement leaders blaming the ballot measure for an increase in property crimes in California. The ballot measure not only reduced many drug possessions to misdemeanors but also raised the threshold for felony theft to $950.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perry Brents, Rialto's community services director, who took the lead on the city's Proposition 47 grant, said he thinks the disbursement of funds to crime prevention programs could quiet some of those critics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nobody is seeing the results of Prop. 47 like the city of Rialto, and it makes it hard to understand if you don't see the results,\" he said. \"In this case we have hard evidence of the effects of how it's working for us. ...

Proposition 47 gave the governor the power to decide that amount, however.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Bauters said the grants from the Board of State and Community Corrections are historic, noting it's the first time that money previously spent on incarcerating criminals will go toward crime prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've had an increase in corrections spending and prisons in particular. Since 1981, there's been an increase of 1500 percent,\" he said. \"Thanks to the savings from Prop. 47, California for the first time is creating a treatment and prevention infrastructure that millions of Californians have wanted and needed for generations ... this was a reprioritization of how Californians wish to see money spent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hopes applicants who didn’t win the grants this time around will reapply in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And they had invited their friends.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 47 has been controversial in some quarters, with many law enforcement leaders blaming the ballot measure for an increase in property crimes in California. The ballot measure not only reduced many drug possessions to misdemeanors but also raised the threshold for felony theft to $950.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perry Brents, Rialto's community services director, who took the lead on the city's Proposition 47 grant, said he thinks the disbursement of funds to crime prevention programs could quiet some of those critics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nobody is seeing the results of Prop. 47 like the city of Rialto, and it makes it hard to understand if you don't see the results,\" he said. \"In this case we have hard evidence of the effects of how it's working for us. ...

They believe\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/opinion/editorials/la-ed-proposition-47-savings-20160518-snap-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> the savings to the state from the ballot measure are even bigger \u003c/a>than the $103 million over three years calculated by the governor's office. Proposition 47 gave the governor the power to decide that amount, however.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Bauters said the grants from the Board of State and Community Corrections are historic, noting it's the first time that money previously spent on incarcerating criminals will go toward crime prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've had an increase in corrections spending and prisons in particular. Since 1981, there's been an increase of 1500 percent,\" he said. \"Thanks to the savings from Prop. 47, California for the first time is creating a treatment and prevention infrastructure that millions of Californians have wanted and needed for generations ... this was a reprioritization of how Californians wish to see money spent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hopes applicants who didn’t win the grants this time around will reapply in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Looking at hundreds of pages of public records from the state's 58 counties, the organization discovered wild variations in terms of policing, jail policies and rehabilitation opportunities for misdemeanor offenders -- and that there's still a lot of work left to be done to fulfill Prop. 47's promise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/232609630\" 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>Some local law enforcement officials have complained there’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-proposition-47-falsehoods-arrest-20151027-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">no reason to take someone into custody for a misdemeanor \u003c/a>and have let the number of arrests fall.

Because of this, jail populations are on the rise again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, some counties are putting misdemeanor criminals on probation while others aren’t -- and, according to the report, the decisions about who to supervise all seem pretty arbitrary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Prop. 47 is the law, but it is not the new normal,” said Margaret Dooley-Sammuli, director of criminal justice and drug policy at the ACLU of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Despite all the successes of the first year, local agencies are still deciding how they will respond to Prop. 47. Unfortunately, there is still some resistance among law enforcement.

Earlier that month, California voters had approved \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/08/22/proposition-47-gives-former-felons-a-new-chance\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition 47\u003c/a>.

He had been arrested for possession of marijuana. He said he turned to selling weed when he found out he was going to be a father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At that point in time, I wasn’t working,\" he said. \"I was still going to school. I just really was caught off-guard, like instead of me focused on the future, I thought about now. I’m like, if I’m having a daughter, I need to try to make something happen now. And that’s what I did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green was sentenced to five years probation. During that time, he found a temporary job at a hazardous waste plant, eventually getting hired full time as a project manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just as his probation ended, he was laid off, and soon learned his second daughter was on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That kind of threw me to what I knew best, and that was hustle,” said Green.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Months later, he was charged with a second felony for narcotics possession. He was convicted and sentenced to three years probation. A judge warned him that any violation would mean five years in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That really just opened up my eyes,\" Green said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was determined to turn things around, but wasn't able to find work. When his probation ended, he found a job at the Tesoro Refinery. The job paid $1,500 a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green had been working at the refinery for about a month when a background check revealed his felony convictions. He thought he had lost a chance to change his life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really gave up everything, and I was really trying to focus on working,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"8AIiGVYTySKWB60s5QE9bXneaiXR5AL8\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of driving home to Antioch, Green decided to try to plead his case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m on my way home,\" said Green, \"and something just says, I think it was God just said, 'Man, stop by the courthouse.' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still in his work uniform, he approached a court clerk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I said, 'Man, I just got laid off my job, and I want to know what can I do.' Basically I was trying to go and talk to a judge. So I’m talking to her, and there was tears coming out of my eyes. And she could really see that I was sincere,” Green recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clerk told Green about Proposition 47 and directed him to the Contra Costa County Public Defender's Office. Green met with a public defender that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few weeks later, he went to court. After hearing Green’s case, a judge reduced his convictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, after that I called my job and gave them the paperwork and everything,” Green said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He had to wait a few months before he found out if he passed Tesoro’s background check. In January, he went back to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like a big load that just came off me,\" said Green, \"because I was able to do something that I know I can be productive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Had he just driven home that day, Green said he would never have heard about Prop 47.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know everybody got a past, but dealing with these jobs, though, they always bring that up on you, even if you’re trying to change your life,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So that was one of my things that I was able to let go.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

During that time, he found a temporary job at a hazardous waste plant, eventually getting hired full time as a project manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just as his probation ended, he was laid off, and soon learned his second daughter was on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That kind of threw me to what I knew best, and that was hustle,” said Green.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Months later, he was charged with a second felony for narcotics possession.

A judge warned him that any violation would mean five years in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That really just opened up my eyes,\" Green said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was determined to turn things around, but wasn't able to find work. When his probation ended, he found a job at the Tesoro Refinery. The job paid $1,500 a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green had been working at the refinery for about a month when a background check revealed his felony convictions.

Basically I was trying to go and talk to a judge. So I’m talking to her, and there was tears coming out of my eyes. And she could really see that I was sincere,” Green recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clerk told Green about Proposition 47 and directed him to the Contra Costa County Public Defender's Office. Green met with a public defender that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few weeks later, he went to court. After hearing Green’s case, a judge reduced his convictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, after that I called my job and gave them the paperwork and everything,” Green said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He had to wait a few months before he found out if he passed Tesoro’s background check.
