Since Prop. 36 took effect in December 2024, over 5,700 defendants have been booked, straining systems with longer jail stays, more hospital runs, and heavier workloads for prosecutors and defenders. The Sheriff’s Office saw its inmate population swell from 3,900 to nearly 4,200. The proposed budget allocates $15 million for 23 new sworn officers and re-entry staff, plus $3 million in state funds for behavioral health, and 30 new positions for public defenders and probation. Critics, including the ACLU, say the plan still overemphasizes punishment over proven treatment solutions. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
