The choice is clear:
-
- Vote yes on Proposition 6 to reduce crime, victimization, spending on California prisons, and enhance public safety.
- No opposition.
- Voters in Alabama, Tennessee, Oregon, and Vermont voted yes to similar legislation. California must catch up.
- Prop 6 Makes our communities safer and reduces wasteful taxpayer spending.
- Proposition 6 enhances public safety and reduces recidivism by prioritizing rehabilitation, leading to significant cost savings for taxpayers. California taxpayers pay $134,000 per year to incarcerate one person. Evidence shows that the more people are rehabilitated, the less likely to suffer from homelessness and re-offend, avoiding costs for re-incarceration. These savings can be reallocated to community programs, investments in mental health programs, education, and other public services, improving the well-being of all Californians while saving taxpayers money.
