California Effort to Roll Back Sentencing Reforms Defeated on Election Day
Originally published at Stop The Drug War
A ballot measure that would roll back changes to California’s sentencing laws, changing certain misdemeanor crimes, including some drug offenses to felony crimes was roundly defeated at the ballot box on Election Day. Proposition 20, which “Restricts Parole for Non-Violent Offenders. Authorizes Felony Sentences for Certain Offenses Currently Treated Only as Misdemeanors,” went down 68% to 32%, according to the Associated Press.

All of those measures were designed to reduce the state’s prison population; this one would have increased it at a cost of tens of millions of dollars a year..
