Proposition 36 creates a treatment-mandated felony for a third possession charge, pushing for rehabilitation while still allowing longer sentences for repeat offenses.
Despite the rejection of progressive district attorneys, public sentiment in California seems to support a balanced approach to criminal justice and rehabilitation.
The mayors of major Californian cities characterized Proposition 36 as a solution to 'chronic homelessness, addiction and despair,' framing it as a health issue.
Critics argue that Proposition 36 fails to provide necessary funding for substance abuse treatment, which undermines its goal of rehabilitation.
