PROP. 36 ONE YEAR LATER: THOUSANDS MORE PROSECUTED, BUT IS IT WORKING?
LA County Jail
LA Daily News: Prosecutors in three Southern California counties have charged more than 13,000 people under Proposition 36, the tougher-on-crime law passed overwhelmingly a year ago this week, according to data collected by the Southern California News Group.
The law placed stricter punishments on repeat drug and theft offenders, but also promised to provide those with addictions and mental illness an option to have cases dismissed by completing a court-approved treatment program instead.
