   Californians moved right on criminal justice for the first time in more   
   than two decades, voting for sterner sentences on minor crimes.   
      
   Those changes are expected to reverse a trend of falling prison and jail   
   populations — but proponents hope they will also reduce street crime and   
   open-air drug use.   
      
   The 2024 retrenchment marks a startling reversal of more than a decade of   
   criminal justice policy in California, which was premised on reducing   
   incarcerated populations, spending more on treatment and saving state   
   dollars along the way.   
      
   No more. Now, Democrats in the Capitol just watched voters and legislators   
   steamroll past their proposals for a middle ground and instead line up   
   behind Proposition 36, which increased penalties for some theft and drug   
   crimes.   
      
   Meanwhile, California’s two best-known “progressive” prosecutors, the   
   district attorneys of Alameda and Los Angeles counties, were recalled or   
   defeated in an election.   
      
   The state’s top Democrats also lined up behind Proposition 6, which would   
   have banned forced labor in prison and jails, and watched that measure   
   fail.   
      
   To top off a bad year for California Democrats, the state’s former   
   attorney general lost the 2024 presidential race.   
      
   Gov. Gavin Newsom spent the summer trying to reassure voters that the   
   state was taking measures to combat street crime. He sent California   
   Highway Patrol officers to work shifts in Oakland and directed National   
   Guard lawyers to prosecute drug cases in Alameda County. Some locals were   
   appreciative; others said the efforts were a mark of yet more overpolicing   
   of communities of color.   
      
   Advocates for incarcerated people scored a couple of wins in the   
   Legislature and in court. California is no longer withholding the money it   
   is supposed to give people leaving prison at the time of their release.   
   Hundreds of people who were sterilized in California prisons are eligible   
   to appeal the denial of their requests for compensation.   
      
   2025 outlook   
   But California, with its harsher new laws and likely expanding   
   incarcerated population, is looking at a big invoice in the future: The   
   cost to imprison one person for one year in California hit a record of   
   $132,860 in 2024.

   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and   
   eradicated.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
