LA's Collapse Wasn't An Accident
"The legislature passed Prop 57, that gave early release to thousands of prisoners classified as nonviolent, a classification that under the bill's language could include people convicted of rape by intoxication, drive-by shootings, and human trafficking. Voters were told it was for low-level offenders. It was most definitely not."
Shapiro exposed how California's Proposition 57, marketed to voters as early release for low-level offenders, actually used definitions of 'nonviolent' that included rape by intoxication, drive-by shootings, and human trafficking. Thousands of prisoners were released under classifications that deliberately misled the public about the severity of their crimes.
