Improving public safety
At the top of the list: repealing Jerry Brown's dangerous AB 109
Government's first responsibility is to protect the people and our liberties. AB 109, Jerry Brown's prison "realignment" program, seriously jeopardizes public safety and should be repealed.
Hastily written, AB 109 results in many dangerous prisoners being housed in local jails instead of the state prisons specifically designed for long term incarceration. Worse, other criminals who would should be serving time behind bars are out on probation where many are committing more crimes, and creating more victims.
Local jails were designed for short term detention, not long term incarceration of criminals who have committed serious crimes. They lack the proper medical, recreational, and security facilities necessary for criminals who need to do serious time.
The failure of political leaders in Sacramento to build adequate prison space for criminals has been the subject of federal litigation, and it's clear more prison space must be built to ensure criminals convicted of serious crime do their time.
