Proposition 6 would close a loophole in the current California Constitution, which prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime.

Prisons and private companies make millions in profit by forcing incarcerated people to work dangerous jobs even if they need to be in rehabilitation programs like victim impact, anger management, or drug treatment.

Prop 6 prioritizes rehabilitation and increase opportunities for incarcerated people to work on themselves, which leads to safer communities for us all.

WHY YES on PROP 6?

https://voteyesprop6.com/about/

--Vote yes on Proposition 6 to reduce crime, victimization, spending on California prisons, and enhance public safety.

--NO OPPOSITION: No groups nor persons have come out against Prop 6

--Voters in Alabama, Tennessee, Oregon, and Vermont voted yes to similar legislation. California must catch up.

--Prop 6 Makes our communities safer and reduces wasteful taxpayer spending.

Proposition 6 enhances public safety and reduces recidivism by prioritizing rehabilitation, leading to significant cost savings for taxpayers. California taxpayers pay $134,000 per year to incarcerate one person. Evidence shows that the more people are rehabilitated, the less likely to suffer from homelessness and re-offend, avoiding costs for re-incarceration.

These savings can be reallocated to community programs, investments in mental health programs, education, and other public services, improving the well-being of all Californians while saving taxpayers money.
