His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"cveltman":{"type":"authors","id":"8608","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"8608","found":true},"name":"Chloe Veltman","firstName":"Chloe","lastName":"Veltman","slug":"cveltman","email":"cveltman@kqed.org","display_author_email":true,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"Arts and Culture Reporter","bio":"Chloe Veltman is a former arts and culture reporter for KQED.

It would also give the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation more latitude in housing condemned inmates and require them to work, with 70 percent of their wages going to crime victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other proposal, which ballot measure proponent Mike Farrell calls \"\u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/15-0066%20(Death%20Penalty).pdf\" target=\"_blank\">The Justice That Works Act of 2016,\u003c/a>\" would ban executions altogether and convert all existing death sentences to life in prison without the possibility of parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Death Penalty Reform and Savings Act of 2016 is current being reviewed by the Attorney General's Office. A \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2014/feb/12/local/la-me-ln-california-death-penalty-initiative-20140212\" target=\"_blank\">similar measure \u003c/a>was proposed last year and endorsed by three former California governors.

While acknowledging the measure would affect various costs, \"the magnitude of these effects would depend on how certain provisions in the measure are interpreted and implemented,\" the LAO wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In conclusion, it wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Increased state costs that could be in the tens of millions of dollars annually for several years related to direct appeals and habeas corpus proceedings, with the fiscal impact on such costs being unknown in the longer run.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Potential state correctional savings that could be in the tens of millions of dollars annually.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Proponents of the measure to ban capital punishment must be more pleased with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/ballot/2015/150494.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">LAO analysis \u003c/a>of their measure. The LAO estimates a \"net reduction in state and local government costs of potentially around $150 million annually within a few years due to the elimination of the death penalty.\" You can be sure that will end up in a TV commercial for the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proponents of both measures have yet to collect a single signature. Assuming they get a green light from the attorney general and the secretary of state, they'll have 180 days to collect the necessary signatures to put it before voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If both succeed, they'll likely join a November 2016 ballot with measures related to legalizing pot, raising the minimum wage and strengthening gun control.

Chappatte says they wanted to reveal the humanity of the inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And that's what is a bit unsettling, might be unsettling for some viewers, because death row is a place, is a forgotten place where we put, as a society we put people that are seen as monsters, and we don't pay attention to what's going on there. And what you see through the art is actually, you see beauty, you see human emotions,” Chappatte said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over 70 framed drawings and paintings line the walls.

She points out that the group “Murder Victims’ Families for Human Rights” is one of the show’s sponsors. But she does want visitors to think about how race and class factor into how likely defendants are to be sentenced to death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, look at this system. It's broken. I mean, how come terrible murderers are not on death row, and how come some are? How come some people have money to hire great lawyers, and how come others don't?” Widmann says. “It has nothing to do with empathy with criminals, you see what I mean?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Windows on Death Row” will travel to North Carolina and Ohio after it closes in Los Angeles on Dec. 18.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"We talk with inmate and artist Kevin Cooper, who has been on death row at San Quentin for 30 years.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1450130294,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":true,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":23,"wordCount":1041},"headData":{"title":"L.A.
