Guest Editorial: No on Proposition 6

Beyond Chron, October 8, 2008

Advocacy Letters

Vote YES on Prop 5
Prop 5, the “Non-violent Offender Rehabilitation Act of 2008” will expand drug treatment diversion programs for non-violent offenders, expand prison and parole rehabilitation programs, and allow for participation and performance in rehabilitation programs that could reduce prison time.
Vote NO on Prop 6
Prop 6 is a “tough on crime” initiative that will cost the state $1 billion annually. It takes funding away from public education, health care, and drug and alcohol agencies proven to be effective in rehabilitation. Prop 6 unfairly targets youth and will increase the already overcrowded prison population in California.
