2020 California Proposition 20 - Stricter Parole, Sentencing Election Results
Election Date: Nov. 3, 2020 | Updated 11:26 AM EST Dec. 12, 2020
"Keep California Safe," a coalition led by police unions throughout the state, is backing an effort to undo changes ushered in by Prop. 57, the 2016 ballot initiative that overhauled the state parole system and allowed inmates convicted of certain crimes to earn early releases. The initiative was part of a push to reduce overcrowding in California prisons, but detractors argue Prop. 57 has put dangerous individuals back on the streets and caused an uptick in crime rates. If approved by voters, the 2020 proposition will roll back parole reforms, strengthen punishment for individuals convicted of nonviolent crimes like theft and expand law enforcement's DNA collection capacity.
