Prop57

Moi kaikki!
Tiesittekö, että Yhdysvalloissa on säädetty uusi laki nimeltä Prop57? Mitä te ajattelette siitä?

Olin tossa aamulla selaamassa YouTubea ja huomasin videon aiheesta..

In 2011, the United States Supreme Court ruled that California's prisons were overcrowded and violated the Eighth Amendment. The state was ordered to reduce its prison population. Prison numbers dropped after voters approved Proposition 47 in 2014, which reduced certain nonviolent felonies to misdemeanors and gave more inmates a higher chance for parole consideration. Proposition 57 was also designed to lower prison population numbers
Those convicted of nonviolent felony crimes who have served full sentences for their primary offense and passed screening for public security will be eligible for parole. That makes about 7,000 inmates immediately eligible, according to The Associated Press.[3]

Prison numbers dropped after California voters approved Proposition 47 in 2014, which reduced nonviolent, nonserious crimes to misdemeanors and gave more inmates a higher chance for parole consideration. Proposition 57 was partly another response to the 2009 federal order mandating that California reduce its prison population numbers.

Additionally, Proposition 57 allowed inmates to earn credits for good behavior and educational or rehabilitative achievements. "Its essence is to provide an incentive," said Gov. Jerry Brown (D), who spearheaded the campaign. Inmates use credits to reduce time spent in prison.
