Special Episode: California Crime - Panel 2, Solutions

California Crime, Panel 2: SOLUTIONS – A New Approach? Decades of tough-on-crime legislation saw California’s state prison population grow from 20,000 prior to 1980 to a peak of 175,000 in 2006. Reforms, including a 2011 court-mandated reduction of the prison population, have lowered the number of people in California prisons, and the state will close two prisons in 2021-2022.

An effort to end the Death Penalty, proposition 62, was rejected by voters in 2016. Senate Bill 10, which eliminated cash bail, was passed by the legislature and signed into law in 2018; Two years later voters repealed the
