I know being a "stickler for details" is one of the most important character traits for being a reporter, but this article has a few errors that I know you would want brought to your attention. First is the fact that 3 Strikes was passed by both the state legislature and the voters in 1994, not 1996. As to prison populations: the actual Department of Corrections numbers are available on our 15 Year Report. Prior to 3 Strikes the Department of Corrections had made a projected inmate population of 250,000 ...

Statement of Program and its Objective. In 1992, after the cold blooded murder of an 18 year old girl in Fresno, CA by two repeat offenders, fresh out of prison, a group of community leaders with help from judges, lawyers, state legislators and some the best legal minds in California drafted what has become the most effective crime law in U. S. history. While the complexities and causes of crime and violence have been debated since time immemorial there are answers and solutions; our goal is to find them.

By Mike Reynolds, July 11, 2014. Realignment as an idea or concept is not a bad plan. With a statewide recidivist problem at 70% every 18 months and our state prison system releasing as many as 100,000 convicted felons each year, the question is this helping or just speeding up this revolving door? So Realignment would have been a good idea if there had been extra space in local jails and if the offenders being sent to our local jails were really low level criminals. There is another "side effect" from o...

Quadriplegic prisoner is first in California to get medical parole hearing. Steven Charles Martinez is a 42-year-old quadriplegic who cannot care for himself in any way. He cannot feed or bathe himself, cannot brush his teeth. Because Martinez is an inmate at Corcoran State Prison, taxpayers are providing well over $500,000 annually for his medical care, and will continue to do so if he remains in prison for the rest of his life, which was the intent of his 157-years-to-life sentence. About 40 inmates ha...

Like I’m so surprised that the savings projected from Prop 47 has not happened. MIKE HESTRIN: Inland Empire public safety precarious. This is an article that generates more questions than it answers. The reason being how did the Public Policy Institute get the information that informed their conclusions? Ever since 2011 getting any statistical data from CA Attorney General Harris has been painfully slow or nonexistent. Dan, crime is still a big issue! Now is no different. SAN FRANCISCO - Nearly 1,400 lif...
