Proposition 36 proposes stricter penalties for repeat theft offenders while also offering a path for drug addicts to choose treatment, attempting to balance punishment with rehabilitation.
Supporters argue Prop. 36 would provide an essential adjustment to Proposition 47, preventing mass incarceration while helping individuals struggling with addiction find the support they need.
Opponents warn that Prop. 36 could lead to greater incarceration rates and reductions in treatment funding, potentially leaving addicts without necessary resources.
San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan believes Prop. 36 will reduce suffering on the streets, although Sacramento's Mayor warns it could severely impact treatment availability.
