CA Law Proposed to Shorten Parole:  A California Assemblywoman has introduced a bill that would shorten the time that dangerous criminals released from prison are supervised on parole.  Michele Hanisee, President of the Association of Los Angeles Deputy District Attorneys, reports that AB1182 by Assemblywoman Wendy Carrillo, D-Los Angeles, would reduce parole supervision from one year to 180 days for serious felons, including sex offenders.  It would shave a year off the time on parole for high risk criminals released from prison, and it would discharge offenders from parole if they go six months without a violation.  This follows other sentencing reforms aimed at reducing incarceration for habitual criminals including; AB109 which transferred most felons coming out of prison from parole to county probation and eliminated prison time for most property and drug felonies; Proposition 47, which turned a host of felonies into misdemeanors encouraging thieves to continue stealing, and SB1391, which prohibits the worst murderers under age 16 from being tried in adult court, gifting those convicted in juvenile court with release at age 25.  Recent surveys by two liberal think tanks in San Francisco reporting that crime is down in California are fake news.  DAs and Sheriffs are telling us that thousands of property crimes converted to misdemeanors are no longer reported to police and all kinds of theft, burglaries, car break-ins and drug crimes are rising in every community.  As noted in an earlier post, the FBI preliminary crime report for 2018 found that violent crime had increased in 58.3% of the state's largest cities.
