It's time to reform sentencing enhancements


It’s time to reform sentencing enhancements
Peter Espinoza and
One of the basic tenets of our criminal justice system is that punishment is supposed to be proportionate to the crime. But in the wave of “tough on crime laws” passed in the 1990s, California turned that longtime legal standard on its head, instead adopting many sentencing enhancements, which add years to a person’s prison term, often doubling it. 
California’s Penal Code is now weighed down by more than 150 separate sentence enhancements, ranging from add-ons for possible gang association, having a prior conviction or being on probation. Such enhancements are now routinely applied in nearly every criminal case in the state.  ....

Local legislators, community members rally against SB 82


More than 100 people gathered in front of California State Sen. Nancy Skinner’s office Friday to rally against SB 82, which would change how some thefts are classified.
Under SB 82, thefts under $950 that may involve force or fear without serious injury or the use of a weapon would be classified as “petty theft in the first degree,” which is punishable up to one year in jail and/or a $1000 fine. The use of minimal force or fear during a petty theft can be convicted as a felony robbery and sentenced up to five years in prison under California’s current robbery statute. ....

Sen. Nancy Skinner Introduces Reforms to Reduce Sentences of Certain Non-Violent Offenses


State Sen. Nancy Skinner
East Bay State Sen. Nancy Skinner introduced two criminal justice reform bills this week, designed to reduce sentences for several categories of non-violent felonies.
    Skinner’s two bills were introduced in response to a new report from the state’s Committee on the Revision of the Penal Code. The committee, of which Skinner is a member, was appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature to comprehensively examine California’s Penal Code and issue recommendations for reforming it.
   The first bill, SB 81, would reform the state’s use of sentencing enhancements, which add years to prison sentences,but, based on widespread research, fail to improve public safety. SB 81 would create a set of guidelines for courts so that sentence enhancements would no longer be applied to nonviolent offenses and certain other cases unless a judge determines that the enhancements are necessary to protect public safety.  ....
