Pillar 2

Incarceration & Re-entry

The Problem → My Policy Plan → Outcomes

THE PROBLEM

WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST

California has some of the highest incarceration rates in the nation, especially for non violent offenses. People come home to closed doors , no housing, no jobs, no support , and the cycle repeats. Mass incarceration drains communities and budgets while failing to deliver real safety.

MY POLICY PLAN

WHAT WE'LL DO ON DAY ONE, AND BEYOND

Reduce incarceration for non-violent crimes through diversion, treatment, and restorative justice

Expand re-entry programs with case management from day one.

Fund job training, apprenticeships, and fair-chance hiring partnerships

Provide housing support and rental assistance for the formerly incarcerated.

Invest in mental health and addiction treatment as alternatives to prison.

Reduce healthcare costs through prevention-focused healthcare reform

OUTCOMES

What success looks like

Lower recidivism

Stronger families and communities

Real public safety through opportunity

“Locking people up and throwing away the key isn't justice. Real safety comes from giving people a path back.”
