deal for simple possession. i think that you still have the majority of those individuals who were incarcerated with state prison for possession either had strike priors, serious offenses, or they had pled down from a sales case. >> tal, let me ask you to respond to perhaps marty's point. you're a deputy public offender in san francisco and you've handled dozens of drug case, drug possession cases, you've been -- a lot of people caught their attention when you were quoted in the press saying the way we handle drug enforcement here in california is in effect a war on crumbs instead of the often used phrase on drugs. how do you respond to his remarks? >> well, i think the first thing that we have to recognize is that the majority of people who are caught up in the criminal justice system and who are prosecuted for this type of offense for possession offenses and to some degree possession for sale offenses, the vast majority are indigent people and the vast majority of those indigent people are people of color. so

how do they decision make on dispositions related to drug possession as a felony? >> i think that for a lot of people it does have to be a personal decision and they have to come to it themselves. i don't think they necessarily are thinking about whether whether or not they'd be convicted of a felony or misdemeanor. i will also say that sometimes you'll meet someone in county jail and they're ready to get treatment, they're ready to get help and because of the lack of resources, they have to sit in county jail and wait for a bed to open up or wait for there to be an opportunity for them to access treatment. and one of the things that this bill would do ideally would be to divert some of those resources that go into enforcement and put them into treatment outlets for people. so perhaps there wouldn't be that weight people have while they're incarcerated where they can lose hope or kind of slip back into their old ways of thinking. but from my experience, the longer someone is incarcerated, kind of the less incentive they have and the people who have been in and out

more than 220 marijuana possession cases instantly dismissed. 220 lives saved from criminal records. allison holchomb is right. it did say some courage for prosecutors to decide to drop those cases and it took wisdom. the collective wisdom of voters to make that happen. 1,549,928, washington state voters, improved the lives of people, instantly. by voting. when people tell you that voting doesn't matter, tell them to talk to those 220 people in washington state who won't be dragged into court for possession of a little bit of weed and tell it to thousands and thousands and thousands of people who for years to come in washington state, will not be arrested for minor possession of marijuana. and let's all thank washington state voters tonight for once again proving that your vote matters. if we want to improve our schools... ... what should we invest in? maybe new buildings? what about updated equipment? they can help, but recent research shows... ... nothing transforms schools like investing in advanced teacher education. let's build a strong fou

yes, murder is murder, possession is possession. but when you deal with people that take care of children, you know, when you deal with a mother, a grandmother, it's a little bit different. they are less likely to talk than the men. because i think women have more to lose. they have children and that's always a deciding factor for a woman to divulge any information. you know, their families are still out in the world. they are not as ready to give up that sort of information. >> rather than risk putting their loved ones in danger, many women will choose to fight their cases or serve their time in prison. >> it's easy to get in here but it's hard as h echl ll to get out. you is accept what you did and then you deal with it. >> i'm in here for first-degree murder of a police officer that i've never even seen. >> i'm in here for first-degree murder and a home invasion charge which was self-defense. >> i had a gun and the gun went off and shot the girl. >> it's innocent people in here who ain't done nothing. >> all i can do is wait my t

under the state law, making drug possession laws that punish as a felony would now be punished as a misdemeanor. the new legislation, sb-1506, does not apply to anybody involved in selling or manufacturing drugs. the stated purpose of the bill is that it would help alleviate overcrowding in state prisons and county jails, and ease pressure on california's court system and result in millions of dollars in annual savings for both state and local governments. senator mark leno who couldn't join us today as been quoted as saying, quote, there's been no evidence to suggest long prison sentences deter or limit people from abusing drugs. in fact, time behind bars and felony records often have horrible, unintended consequences for people trying to overcome addiction because they are unlikely to receive drug treatment in prison and have few job prospects and educational opportunities when they leave. this legislation will help implement public safety realignment and protect our communities by reserving prison and jail space for more serious offenders. commenting on the fact 13 other states h
