    Less than 2/3 of the vote counted. Since 1982, CalPIA “employs” prisoners for $1/hr to make office furniture and supplies, stamp license plates, and fight wildfires, among other labor. Some have died. It’s slavery. If the measure passes, these activities will cost the state a lot more money. And to add to it, Prop 36 looks like we will be sending more prisoners in for non-violent crimes.

    No problem just make sure they don’t send any good white boys to prison. /s
