Today, I offered six common-sense amendments to the dangerous prison bill proposed by the Democrats and the Governor. Sadly, and to the detriment of California’s safety, all six were rejected by the Democrat Senators.
The amendments would have done the following:
* Close three juvenile facilities (read more about this proposal here)
* Suspend all rehabilitation programs
* Required CDCR to use Medi-Cal rate for prison health care instead of the current rate
* Require CDCR to post online a soon-to-be released inmate’s criminal history 10 days prior to release
* Require CDCR to post online all arrests and convictions 18 months after arrest
* Remove ex-felon requirement form the Sentencing Commission (Read more about the Sentencing Committee here)
