Savings to California's state budget

The new change to the Three strikes law it is estimated to save around $70-$90 million dollars a year if Proposition 36 is passed. This will affect people who puts in their tax money into jail inmates according to the Legislative Analyst office, of the 9 billion annual prison budget. The three strikes law will double a third time offenders jail time if a person is convicted of any felonies or misdemeanor. Depending on the criminals nature of the crime if a non-violent offender is convicted may be their sentence will be reduce because it is a minor crime, although the person will be receiving some jail sentence time about double the amount of the original three strikes law that was enforced. For example instead of a two to four year in jail it will go up to four to eight years in prison instead of the original amount. This is a reasonable time of amount being serve in jail.

Let's Review Propositions... Yes on 34 + Yes on 36

A good documentary about the Californian 3 strikes law, that puts people into prison for life, even for even minor offenses. Not increasing the safety of the population, but just feeding a big money making machine, called [the prison industry](http://rottencapital.tumblr.com/post/33820195150/daily-show-incarceration-rate-usa). We can just hope that people in California do the right thing and vote for Prop 36, which modifies the law.
