In October, SAFE was certified by the Alameda County Registrar of Voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recall campaign now has more than 1,900 volunteers to gather the tens of thousands of signatures it needs to place a recall question on the ballot, Grisham told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that process may not be so simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late October, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors gave its first approval to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11964884/alameda-county-recall-laws-may-change-and-pamela-price-could-benefit\">a charter amendment that would change how the county administers recall elections\u003c/a>. Instead of relying on its own charter, the county would essentially “delete” all of its local laws on recalls and use state rules instead. That’s not an anomaly in California as most counties default to state law for recall elections, according to the Registrar of Voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At an Oct. 24 Alameda County Board of Supervisors meeting, County Counsel Donna Ziegler told the board that recall rules similar to Alameda County’s have been found unconstitutional in other parts of the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so the goal of this amendment is to increase the possibility — the likelihood — that should there ever be an occasion for the county to actually conduct a recall election, that the [Registrar of Voters] has a fighting chance to actually conduct that election with integrity,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a dozen recall supporters spoke that night, including Grisham, who called out the potential rule changes as unfair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel that this is election interference, and we have no trust in any of the departments, any of the administration,” Grisham said during public comment. “Right now, we have no trust in the Registrar of Voters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The registrar has a history of major errors in elections. Just last year, the count employed an incorrect method of counting ballots in Oakland that resulted in \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandside.org/2022/12/28/alameda-county-registrar-miscounted-ballots-oakland-election-2022/\">the registrar crowning the wrong winner in an Oakland Unified School District race\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An elections commission formed in the wake of that scandal still has eight vacancies and has yet to officially meet, \u003ca href=\"https://www.acgov.org/bnc/#/board/a0U6T00000XmqABUAZ\">according to its website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference between the state and county rules on recalls is key because each set of rules has distinct timelines and thresholds for a recall election. Alameda County voters will have the opportunity to vote on changing — or keeping — the county’s recall rules on March 5, 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"pamelapricerecallsignatures\">\u003c/a>How many signatures would the Price recall campaign need to collect?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>State rules say the recall campaign has 160 days to gather signatures. County recall rules don’t specify a time frame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of signatures needed to get a recall on the ballot is another significant difference between the state and county rules. State rules, for instance, say that for Alameda County, the number of signatures gathered must equal 10% of registered voters — about 93,000 signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But county regulations say the amount of signatures must be equal in number to at least 15% of the entire vote cast for governor candidates in the last gubernatorial election. Calculating \u003ca href=\"https://www.acgov.org/rovresults/248/\">the number of Alameda County voters who cast a ballot for either Gov. Gavin Newsom or state Sen. Brian Dahle\u003c/a>\u003cb>, \u003c/b>that number is just over 70,000 signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having to gather an additional 20,000 signatures may cost a campaign more than $200,000, political consultant Jim Ross said. Could that imperil the recall effort?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Signature gathering is all about money,” Ross said. “If they have the money to hire or pay signature gatherers, then they’ll qualify.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grisham said SAFE aims to meet the 93,000 signature goal to ensure the campaign qualifies under either set of rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"pamelapricerecallwhenelection\">\u003c/a>When would the recall election take place?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If voters reject the March ballot measure calling for a charter amendment, and depending on when the recall campaign turns in its signatures, it is possible a special election could be called for June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the outcome will be different if voters approve the charter amendment in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State law more heavily favors placing a recall on the date of a regularly scheduled election, and says a recall election can take place 180 days after signatures qualify and a recall is ordered. That makes it far more likely the recall would take place in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timing matters, especially in a presidential election year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Special and primary elections tend to have lower voter turnout than general elections. That was the case in Alameda County in 2022 when \u003ca href=\"https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/sov/2022-primary/sov/03-voter-participation-stats-by-county.pdf\">308,000 voters cast a ballot in the June primary\u003c/a> compared to \u003ca href=\"https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/sov/2022-general/sov/03-voter-participation-stats-by-county.pdf\">496,000 votes in November’s general election\u003c/a>. Turnout matters, Ross said, because of another truism in California politics: Higher-turnout elections skew to more progressive election results, and lower-turnout elections skew to more conservative results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An earlier election might favor the recall against Price; a November recall could put it at a disadvantage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any delay of this plays out in the DA’s favor,” Ross said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also quite possible either side — for or against the recall — sues Alameda County over which recall regulations are the correct ones to follow, Alameda County Board of Supervisors Vice President David Haubert said during the Oct. 24 meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reason we’re choosing to align with state law is because it is the way that literally every other county is conducting elections,” Ziegler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grisham said the recall campaign has all the legal resources they need to protect the recall process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re ready for all the shenanigans that could come our way,” she said. “We have very good lawyers, and there’s a lot of things we’re ready for that people don’t think we’re ready for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"pamelapricechesaboudin\">\u003c/a>Is this attempt similar to the 2022 recall of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>So far, at least one person associated with Price’s attempted recall overlaps with that of the successful recall campaign against Boudin: Dreyfuss, the hedge fund partner who in the recall’s initial filing documents, was listed as an officer. In 2021, Dreyfuss donated at least $10,000 to recall Boudin, according to campaign filings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the messages the recall campaign is using, in many ways, the playbook against Price mirrors previous efforts against progressive DAs in San Francisco and Los Angeles. But some key differences could benefit Price’s chances of remaining in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As with \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Chesa-Boudin-San-Francisco-crime-statistics-recall-16268178.php\">San Francisco\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-04-01/violent-crime-surge-la-county-george-gascon#:~:text=Proponents%20of%20the%20effort%20to,or%20file%20most%20sentencing%20enhancements.\">Los Angeles\u003c/a>, opponents of Price are blaming her office and its progressive reform policies for rising crime rates. Price has vehemently denied this, even going as far as to say in an interview with KQED, “\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11955812/alameda-county-da-pamela-price-calls-recall-proponents-election-deniers\">A DA has no impact whatsoever on crime rates. That is a failed measure\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts agree that many factors go into local crime rates, and violent crime is generally higher in cities across the country than in 2019. Property crimes are more mixed, \u003ca href=\"https://counciloncj.org/mid-year-2023-crime-trends/\">and violent crime in general is trending downward in the country compared to last year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as the Brookings Institution noted in an April survey, \u003ca href=\"https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-geography-of-crime-in-four-u-s-cities-perceptions-and-reality/\">perceptions of rising crime are up\u003c/a>. In 2022, the Pew Research Center found \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/10/31/violent-crime-is-a-key-midterm-voting-issue-but-what-does-the-data-say/\">the feeling that crime was rising persisted despite data saying otherwise\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s important to consider for Alameda County. Even though its largest city, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/oakland-bay-area-rates-18259788.php\">Oakland, is experiencing higher crime rates\u003c/a>, that may not be the case in the other cities and unincorporated communities that make up Alameda County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How public officials talk about crime matters for recalls, too, Ross said. In San Francisco, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/mayor-breed-orders-crackdown-on-crime-in-san-franciscos-tenderloin-neighborhood/\">Mayor London Breed was outspoken about crime\u003c/a> and the harsher punishments she’d like to see enacted in the city, though she was cautious not to call out Boudin directly. Price has a different situation with Mayor Sheng Thao, who leans more progressive than Breed.\u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/crime-in-oakland-mayor-sheng-thao-safe-rate/13686600/\"> Thao, like Breed, has pointed to a need for more police\u003c/a>, but she hasn’t endorsed harsher penalties for offenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s one of the things that you had in San Francisco that you don’t have in Alameda County, is you don’t have a mayor basically driving the recall messaging,” Ross said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another split between San Francisco and Alameda County is its size and makeup, which may make signature gathering tougher, Ross said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Alameda County is more spread out, it will likely take more time and, therefore, cost more for the campaign to hire signature gatherers to meet the required total.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Opponents of Alameda County DA Pamela Price criticize her progressive criminal justice reform policies, and she may face a recall on the ballot in 2024.

But the rules are a bit different in Alameda County’s charter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adding an element of uncertainty, the Alameda County Registrar of Voters started the process to reform the county’s recall election rules in October. Alameda County recall law was written in 1926, and it’s out of date because it doesn’t leave nearly enough time to count signatures or administer an election, according to the Registrar of Voters. And if the registrar made a mistake in issuing the recall, the county could easily be sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an attempt to make sense of the complicated election process and what a potential recall vote could look like, KQED researched state and county recall election law and spoke with the recall’s principal officer, Brenda Grisham, as well as political consultant Jim Ross, who consulted on Boudin’s unsuccessful campaign to thwart a recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep reading for a comprehensive look at the Alameda County District Attorney’s recall process.

In October, SAFE was certified by the Alameda County Registrar of Voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recall campaign now has more than 1,900 volunteers to gather the tens of thousands of signatures it needs to place a recall question on the ballot, Grisham told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that process may not be so simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late October, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors gave its first approval to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11964884/alameda-county-recall-laws-may-change-and-pamela-price-could-benefit\">a charter amendment that would change how the county administers recall elections\u003c/a>. Instead of relying on its own charter, the county would essentially “delete” all of its local laws on recalls and use state rules instead. That’s not an anomaly in California as most counties default to state law for recall elections, according to the Registrar of Voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At an Oct. 24 Alameda County Board of Supervisors meeting, County Counsel Donna Ziegler told the board that recall rules similar to Alameda County’s have been found unconstitutional in other parts of the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so the goal of this amendment is to increase the possibility — the likelihood — that should there ever be an occasion for the county to actually conduct a recall election, that the [Registrar of Voters] has a fighting chance to actually conduct that election with integrity,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a dozen recall supporters spoke that night, including Grisham, who called out the potential rule changes as unfair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel that this is election interference, and we have no trust in any of the departments, any of the administration,” Grisham said during public comment. “Right now, we have no trust in the Registrar of Voters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The registrar has a history of major errors in elections. Just last year, the count employed an incorrect method of counting ballots in Oakland that resulted in \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandside.org/2022/12/28/alameda-county-registrar-miscounted-ballots-oakland-election-2022/\">the registrar crowning the wrong winner in an Oakland Unified School District race\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An elections commission formed in the wake of that scandal still has eight vacancies and has yet to officially meet, \u003ca href=\"https://www.acgov.org/bnc/#/board/a0U6T00000XmqABUAZ\">according to its website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference between the state and county rules on recalls is key because each set of rules has distinct timelines and thresholds for a recall election.

County recall rules don’t specify a time frame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of signatures needed to get a recall on the ballot is another significant difference between the state and county rules. State rules, for instance, say that for Alameda County, the number of signatures gathered must equal 10% of registered voters — about 93,000 signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But county regulations say the amount of signatures must be equal in number to at least 15% of the entire vote cast for governor candidates in the last gubernatorial election.

Could that imperil the recall effort?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Signature gathering is all about money,” Ross said. “If they have the money to hire or pay signature gatherers, then they’ll qualify.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grisham said SAFE aims to meet the 93,000 signature goal to ensure the campaign qualifies under either set of rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"pamelapricerecallwhenelection\">\u003c/a>When would the recall election take place?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If voters reject the March ballot measure calling for a charter amendment, and depending on when the recall campaign turns in its signatures, it is possible a special election could be called for June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the outcome will be different if voters approve the charter amendment in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State law more heavily favors placing a recall on the date of a regularly scheduled election, and says a recall election can take place 180 days after signatures qualify and a recall is ordered. That makes it far more likely the recall would take place in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timing matters, especially in a presidential election year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Special and primary elections tend to have lower voter turnout than general elections. That was the case in Alameda County in 2022 when \u003ca href=\"https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/sov/2022-primary/sov/03-voter-participation-stats-by-county.pdf\">308,000 voters cast a ballot in the June primary\u003c/a> compared to \u003ca href=\"https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/sov/2022-general/sov/03-voter-participation-stats-by-county.pdf\">496,000 votes in November’s general election\u003c/a>. Turnout matters, Ross said, because of another truism in California politics: Higher-turnout elections skew to more progressive election results, and lower-turnout elections skew to more conservative results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An earlier election might favor the recall against Price; a November recall could put it at a disadvantage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any delay of this plays out in the DA’s favor,” Ross said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also quite possible either side — for or against the recall — sues Alameda County over which recall regulations are the correct ones to follow, Alameda County Board of Supervisors Vice President David Haubert said during the Oct. 24 meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reason we’re choosing to align with state law is because it is the way that literally every other county is conducting elections,” Ziegler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grisham said the recall campaign has all the legal resources they need to protect the recall process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re ready for all the shenanigans that could come our way,” she said. “We have very good lawyers, and there’s a lot of things we’re ready for that people don’t think we’re ready for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"pamelapricechesaboudin\">\u003c/a>Is this attempt similar to the 2022 recall of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>So far, at least one person associated with Price’s attempted recall overlaps with that of the successful recall campaign against Boudin: Dreyfuss, the hedge fund partner who in the recall’s initial filing documents, was listed as an officer. In 2021, Dreyfuss donated at least $10,000 to recall Boudin, according to campaign filings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the messages the recall campaign is using, in many ways, the playbook against Price mirrors previous efforts against progressive DAs in San Francisco and Los Angeles. But some key differences could benefit Price’s chances of remaining in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As with \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Chesa-Boudin-San-Francisco-crime-statistics-recall-16268178.php\">San Francisco\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-04-01/violent-crime-surge-la-county-george-gascon#:~:text=Proponents%20of%20the%20effort%20to,or%20file%20most%20sentencing%20enhancements.\">Los Angeles\u003c/a>, opponents of Price are blaming her office and its progressive reform policies for rising crime rates. Price has vehemently denied this, even going as far as to say in an interview with KQED, “\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11955812/alameda-county-da-pamela-price-calls-recall-proponents-election-deniers\">A DA has no impact whatsoever on crime rates. That is a failed measure\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts agree that many factors go into local crime rates, and violent crime is generally higher in cities across the country than in 2019. Property crimes are more mixed, \u003ca href=\"https://counciloncj.org/mid-year-2023-crime-trends/\">and violent crime in general is trending downward in the country compared to last year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as the Brookings Institution noted in an April survey, \u003ca href=\"https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-geography-of-crime-in-four-u-s-cities-perceptions-and-reality/\">perceptions of rising crime are up\u003c/a>. In 2022, the Pew Research Center found \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/10/31/violent-crime-is-a-key-midterm-voting-issue-but-what-does-the-data-say/\">the feeling that crime was rising persisted despite data saying otherwise\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s important to consider for Alameda County. Even though its largest city, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/oakland-bay-area-rates-18259788.php\">Oakland, is experiencing higher crime rates\u003c/a>, that may not be the case in the other cities and unincorporated communities that make up Alameda County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How public officials talk about crime matters for recalls, too, Ross said. In San Francisco, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/mayor-breed-orders-crackdown-on-crime-in-san-franciscos-tenderloin-neighborhood/\">Mayor London Breed was outspoken about crime\u003c/a> and the harsher punishments she’d like to see enacted in the city, though she was cautious not to call out Boudin directly. Price has a different situation with Mayor Sheng Thao, who leans more progressive than Breed.\u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/crime-in-oakland-mayor-sheng-thao-safe-rate/13686600/\"> Thao, like Breed, has pointed to a need for more police\u003c/a>, but she hasn’t endorsed harsher penalties for offenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s one of the things that you had in San Francisco that you don’t have in Alameda County, is you don’t have a mayor basically driving the recall messaging,” Ross said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another split between San Francisco and Alameda County is its size and makeup, which may make signature gathering tougher, Ross said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Alameda County is more spread out, it will likely take more time and, therefore, cost more for the campaign to hire signature gatherers to meet the required total.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11966518/pamela-price-recall-alameda-potential","authors":["11690"],"categories":["news_8"],"tags":["news_260","news_32707","news_22276","news_27626","news_24461","news_18536"],"featImg":"news_11935711","label":"news"},"news_11943855":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11943855","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11943855","score":null,"sort":[1679014156000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"were-turning-a-new-page-infamous-san-quentin-prison-to-be-transformed-into-rehabilitation-center","title":"'Turning a New Page': Infamous San Quentin Prison to Become Hub for Rehabilitation","publishDate":1679014156,"format":"standard","headTitle":"KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\">Updated 1:30 p.m., Friday\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Quentin, California’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/facility-locator/sq/\">oldest state prison\u003c/a>, and among its most notorious, will be transformed into a rehabilitative facility, where incarcerated people at lower risk of misconduct can receive education and training in preparation for their release, Gov.

It’s not just about rehabilitation, it’s about homecoming. You want folks coming back feeling better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although California's recidivism rate has declined in recent years, it remains stubbornly high: \u003ca href=\"https://www.bsa.ca.gov/pdfs/reports/2018-113.pdf\">On average nearly 50% of people who leave the prison system reoffend\u003c/a>, according to a 2019 state audit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where’s the public safety in that?” said Newsom. He noted that 800 people are released from San Quentin every year, and the primary goal should be keeping them from committing another crime and ending back in the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of criminal justice reform cheered the announcement. Among them was Jay Jordan, CEO of the Alliance for Safety and Justice, a national network of crime survivors that advocates for less incarceration and more support for both criminal offenders and victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan spent years in California prisons after being convicted of robbery at the age of 18. Behind bars, he was able to receive therapy for the first time in his life, and that alone helped change everything, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making San Quentin an institution entirely dedicated to providing that kind of support marks a huge shift in California’s approach to punishment and rehabilitation, Jordan added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It signifies that we're turning a new page in California's history.

It’s not just about rehabilitation, it’s about homecoming. You want folks coming back feeling better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although California's recidivism rate has declined in recent years, it remains stubbornly high: \u003ca href=\"https://www.bsa.ca.gov/pdfs/reports/2018-113.pdf\">On average nearly 50% of people who leave the prison system reoffend\u003c/a>, according to a 2019 state audit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where’s the public safety in that?” said Newsom. He noted that 800 people are released from San Quentin every year, and the primary goal should be keeping them from committing another crime and ending back in the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of criminal justice reform cheered the announcement. Among them was Jay Jordan, CEO of the Alliance for Safety and Justice, a national network of crime survivors that advocates for less incarceration and more support for both criminal offenders and victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan spent years in California prisons after being convicted of robbery at the age of 18. Behind bars, he was able to receive therapy for the first time in his life, and that alone helped change everything, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making San Quentin an institution entirely dedicated to providing that kind of support marks a huge shift in California’s approach to punishment and rehabilitation, Jordan added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It signifies that we're turning a new page in California's history.

His office has so far resentenced nine people through the program, most of whom were immediately released, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's real stories and real people and real lives.

But yeah, we absolutely would get people out of prison if you showed they didn't need to be there anymore.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the People works with prosecutors, public defenders and other groups to find the right cases; so far more than 100 people in California prisons have been released through the program since the legislation went into effect in 2019, and Blout estimates another 26,000 could safely reenter society.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"label":"Related Coverage ","tag":"criminal-justice-reform"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>Last year, Blout's group\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11882320/new-state-funding-boosts-prosecutor-led-resentencing-efforts-in-california\"> helped secure $18 million in state funding\u003c/a> for DAs in \u003ca href=\"https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d44c4376e48120001a8b1d3/t/60f20eb61147e5557d91ae9a/1626476214277/Latest+-+Fact+Sheet++California+County+Resentencing+Pilot+Program+%281%29.pdf\">nine counties, including San Francisco, Santa Clara and Contra Costa\u003c/a>, to help pay for the work of identifying and seeking the release of more eligible people in prison.

Democratic state leaders have been pushing criminal justice reform in California in earnest for about a decade, following a lawsuit over state prison crowding that eventually led the U.S. Supreme Court to order the state to reduce the number of people locked up. But most of those reforms remain unpopular among law enforcement officials and Republican leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this program sounds like a natural fit for progressive prosecutors already committed to reform, it’s notable that it's also being embraced by some more traditionally law-and-order DA's offices — like the one in Yolo County, just west of Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jonathan Raven, the county's chief deputy district attorney, has worked in law enforcement for 25 years. A decade ago, when Raven started working in this office, \"we viewed every case as a nail,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And if you have a nail with the tool, you're going to use a hammer. And we realize now that they're all there, all sorts of other tools in the box that we can use to achieve justice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new law, Raven said, allows his office both to reconsider sentences that may have been too long from the start and to revisit cases in which people have demonstrated they've had a true personal transformation in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raven said his office always works with an eye to public safety and ensuring victims’ voices are part of the resentencing conversation. His office has so far resentenced nine people through the program, most of whom were immediately released, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's real stories and real people and real lives. And the thing about sentencing someone to prison — it's a lot of power that we have, and there's such an effect on so many people,\" he said. \"So it's extremely satisfying to see someone who has earned an early release, you know, get out early.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Alwin Smith’s case, he walked free in July. He’s now back in Riverside County, working at a Costco and interning at a church, where he helps provide meals and showers to the homeless, and speaks to middle school students about his story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the long term, Smith said, he just wants to continue to help others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm working a great job at a great company and I'm giving back.
