Proposition 6 seeks to amend the California Constitution to eliminate the allowance for involuntary servitude as a punishment for crimes, closing a significant loophole.
While the state Constitution prohibits all forms of involuntary servitude, it does permit this exception for incarcerated individuals, which Proposition 6 aims to remove.
Passage of Prop. 6 would prohibit the California Department of Corrections from disciplining inmates who refuse to work, potentially changing prison work incentives.
The financial implications of Prop. 6 are unclear, as it could either increase costs by raising pay for work or reduce costs by shortening sentences.
