Not satisfied with the reduced consequences for thousands of criminals benefiting from his 2011 Realignment law and Proposition 47, Governor Brown is promoting and financing Proposition 57 which will appear on the state's November 8th ballot.  The initiative, which is called "The Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act of 2015", will bestow parole eligibility to habitual felons, whose most recent conviction is for a crime defined as "non-violent" after the criminal serves the base term for the primary offense.  In English, this means that a gang member with priors for rape and armed robbery, who is convicted of residential burglary, auto theft and possession of a firearm, will only serve the burglary sentence before he can be released on parole.  Current law would consider the residential burglary a third strike and give this criminal 25-to-life, with extra time for the gun and the stolen car.  In addition, if the criminal signs up for a program while in prison, under the Brown's Jailbreak initiative the Department of Corrections will have unlimited authority to award him "good time" credits to further reduce his sentence.  Not surprisingly, almost everybody in law enforcement opposes this initiative and supports the campaign to defeat it.  As reported by David Siders in today's Sacramento Bee, when the  Governor saw a mailer from the opposition which described how a habitual criminal with murder and rape priors would be eligible for release under his initiative, he called one of the campaign's co-chairs, Fresno Police Chief Margaret Mims, leaving a voice mail calling the mailer "completely false" and "malicious."   Responding to the voice mail, Chief Mims said "It is troublesome that the Governor is not aware of the details of his own initiative."  Apparently we need to pass it to find out what's in it.
