California has passed laws that have dramatically changed the criminal justice system. These include:
-
Assembly Bill 109 Realignment, which shifted thousands of state prison inmates to local jurisdictions.
-
Proposition 47, which dramatically reduced the crime and consequences for drug users and thieves.
-
Proposition 57, which eliminated prosecutors’ ability to directly send a juvenile accused of a serious or violent offense to adult court and created a new criteria for early release of prisoners from state prison
