In recentyears, the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice (CJCJ) has analyzed the effects of other major reforminitiatives, includingthe “Three Strikes”law reform, Proposition 47, and Proposition 57 (CJCJ, 2008;  \n2011; 2014; 2014a; 2014b;Ridolfi et al., 2016; 2016a) .This report considers Prop20’s effects on budgets, jailand prison populations, andcrime rates. Our analysissuggests that the initiative’spassage could siphon scarcestate resources and increasepopulations in jails andprisons to critical levels.  \n# BACKGROUND\n\nOver the past decade,California voters andlawmakers have passed anumber of substantial  \nProp 20 could affect California in the following ways:  \n1. Impose hundreds of millions of dollars in new annual costs onstate taxpayers and local communities.  \n2. Crowd the state’s prisons and jails, resulting in unsafe livingconditions, litigation, and/or renewed court interventions.  \n3. Interrupt California’s record-low rates of crime by increasingrecidivism and potentially diverting resources from socialprograms and community-based services.  \n4.  Devastate families and communities, particularly communitiesof color, by incarcerating more Californians and saddling themwith a felony record.  \ncriminal justice reforms. In 2011, the Legislature enacted Public Safety Realignment (“Realignment”),which transferred responsibility for those imprisoned on nonviolent, non-serious, and non-sexualcharges from the state to the counties. Proposition 47 (“Prop 47”), a measure on the November 2014ballot, reclassified several drug and property offenses from felonies and wobblers2 to misdemeanors. In2016, Proposition 57 (“Prop 57”) increased opportunities for individuals in prison to earn credit towardsearlier parole by participating in rehabilitative programs.  \nCrime in California has declined steadily over the past decade and now stands at record low levels(Figure 1) . Research has shown no direct connection between crime andthe release of individuals fromjails and prisons under Realignment or Prop 47 (CJCJ, 2013; 2014c; 2015; 2016; 2016a; 2017; Romano,2015) .  \nRather, California’s era of criminal justice reform has allowed the state to address the critical issue ofprison and jail overcrowding. In 2011, after decades of steeply rising populations and widespread neglect,the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a three-judge District Court decision to impose a population maximumon California prisons (Brown v. Plata, 2011). Previously, the state’s prison population had hovered atnearly twice its maximum capacity, resulting in dangerous and unhealthy conditions. Prison officialsstacked beds in open gymnasiums and placed individuals in “telephone-booth-sized cages withouttoilets” (Brown v. Plata, 2011). Approximately every week, an incarcerated person died as a direct resultof the overcrowding crisis (Brown v. Plata, 2011). The combined effects of Realignment, Prop 47, andProp 57 helped to bring California into compliance with the court-mandated prison population cap of  \n137.5 percent of the prisons’design capacity. However, just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, onFebruary 29, 2020, the state’s prisons were operating just below the cap at 134.3 percent—only 2,681individuals under the threshold (CDCR, 2020a). Even a small population increase places California atrisk of violating the cap. This threatens the health and safety of incarcerated people and could result inlarge-scale, indiscriminate releases.  \n1 This publication was updated in July 2020 to include the proposition number assigned by the California Secre","cbCaidGsxxTouqnI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidGsxxTouqnI","pdf",3472178,16,"English","# Introduction\n# Background","[{\"question\":\"What is Proposition 20 expected to change in California’s justice system?\",\"answer\":\"Proposition 20 is a ballot initiative that would roll back key elements of recent justice reforms, affecting how budgets, jail and prison populations, and crime rates evolve.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report describe the potential budget impact of Proposition 20?\",\"answer\":\"It warns the initiative could siphon scarce state resources and impose hundreds of millions of dollars in new annual costs on taxpayers and local communities.\"},{\"question\":\"What background reforms does the report discuss, and why?\",\"answer\":\"The report reviews Public Safety Realignment, Proposition 47, and Proposition 57, explaining how they addressed prison and jail overcrowding and helped California meet a court-mandated prison population cap.\"}]","INVESTING IN FAILURE - Proposition 20 WOULD COME AT A HIGH COST TO CALIFORNIANS - June 2020 | PDF",1792043689]
