Question

Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed 25 bills aimed at setting a path to reform California’s criminal justice system. The bills include support for those reentering the community after serving their sentences, including creating a system to automatically expunge records of individuals previously convicted of low-level offenses, as well as reform unfair sentencing practices, and enhance support for victims of crime.

“I am signing more than two dozen bills that give hope to those that have earned a second chance in our communities, and also support victims of crime,” said Governor Newsom. “These bills show a new path to ensure our state moves closer toward a more equitable criminal justice system.”

Research these reforms and let me know what do you think of such reforms. The clear trend of these reforms is toward rehabilitation of offenders and away from incarceration of these individual. Is this a positive trend?
