캘리포니아 전역에 교도소 재활 성공 사례가 있습니다. 발의안 36은 미래의 교도소를 위험에 빠뜨립니다.

이번 가을, 캘리포니아 유권자들은 제안 36에 따라 특정 도난 및 마약 처벌을 재분류할지 여부를 결정할 것입니다. 더 많은 사람들이 더 엄격한 법률에 따라 감옥에 가게 되면, 일부는 주요 재활 프로그램에 대한 자금 지원을 없애고 재범률을 높일 수 있다고 우려합니다.

캘리포니아 교도소에 수감된 수천 명의 수감자는 투표권을 가지고 있지만 그 중 다수가 투표권을 갖지 못하는 이유는 다음과 같습니다.

While incarcerated Californians who aren’t serving a state or federal felony sentence are eligible to vote, most county jails don’t make it very easy. A bill on Gov. Newsom’s desk would test in-person voting in jails in three counties.
