Death Row
By Phillip
Reese, Sacramento Bee-- Fifteen years ago, California had about as
many death row inmates as Texas. Today, California's death row is more than
twice as large, with 729 inmates.
OPINION:
Los Angeles Times-- Gov. Jerry Brown has before him SB 9, an important but in
the end quite modest bill that would modify life-without-parole sentences for
most inmates who committed their crimes as juveniles.
Realignment
By Carlos Villatoro, Dixon Patch-- The law enforcement landscape in Solano County is different than it was
a year ago before the state passed AB 109, better known in criminal justice
circles as Realignment.
The law, which transfers the responsibility of monitoring,
rehabilitating and incarcerating certain non-violent, non-serious offenders
from the state to the counties, has affected every facet of law enforcement
throughout the state.
