California Crime, Panel 2: SOLUTIONS – A New Approach? Decades of tough-on-crime legislation saw California's state prison population grow from 20,000 prior to 1980 to a peak of 175,000 in 2006. Reforms, including a 2011 court-mandated reduction of the prison population, have lowered the number of people in California prisons, and the state will close two prisons in 2021-2022. But, how many prisoners now languish in underfunded city and county jails? Prison closures coincide with a new crop of Progressive officials and treatment advocates who are approaching punishment, incarceration and rehabilitation differently; Cities including Oakland and Sacramento have created programs to add social workers to the police response to some 911 calls. Are efforts like these improving the rehabilitation of those being arrested and making California safer for everyone? Featuring: Captain Brian Bixler, Los Angeles Police Department; Hillary Blout, For the People; Tinisch Hollins, Californians for Safety and Justice; Michael Romano, California Committee on the Revision of the Penal Code Moderated by Byrhonda Lyons, Calmatters THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS: The Western States Petroleum Association, KP Public Affairs, Perry Communications, Capitol Advocacy, Lucas Public Affairs, Pandora and California Professional Firefighters

Chancellor of the California Committee of Colleges Eloy Oakley recently spent some time in November 2021 in Washington, D.C. with the U.S. Department of Education to help with the BBB - Build Back Better vision of the current administration. He discussed the bureaucracy in the Department of Education, how his visit impacted his leadership style, and policy perspectives. Oakley was most surprised by the many layers of red tape and how big the bureaucracy is in D.C. when compared to California's large bureaucracy. He expressed that although higher education and getting people back to work are bi-partisan issues, the lingering issues such as the first year of an administration coming into a pandemic and a lot of people who believe the election was illegitimate makes it frustrating trying to get things done on top of all the red tape and bureaucracy. People who helped him navigate the vastness of the Department of Education were Ted Mitchell and John King, who helped him understand who's who, which departments he needed to rely on, and which departments he needed to keep communication open with. “It was like a foreign country, walking into the Lyndon B. Johnson building.” He shared that the building was basically empty because of COVID, so it was “critically important for me to understand the organization chart there at the Department of Education.” When asked how his experience in DC will impact his leadership style going forward, he explained how not being in charge and being a support member for the Secretary of Education was a humbling experience. By supporting someone else, it gave him a perspective of what his team goes through trying to support him as a leader. He said, “I saw myself as a resource. I see myself as trying to help something that's bigger than me.” This exercise in humility helped him realize what looks the leader gives and who the leader says “hello” to or not say “hello” to impacts team members. He said, “I think it will help me to make more space and time for each individual member of the team, so that they all feel connected to the work.” With regard to policy, Oakley stated, “The other thing that surprised me with the turmoil we have experienced with COVID is how different all 50 states are. Once I got to understand how federal policy would work in a state, it became exceptionally obvious how difficult it is for the Department of Education to try to craft federal policy for the entire nation given how different our states are and of course states are primarily responsible for higher education in their states. The final thing is how much online education stretches across states, so it makes it even more complex to develop federal policy.” He felt his perspective on how policy actually works on the ground was helpful to the administration. He gave examples of policies that impact students directly, like America's College Promise, completion grants, consumer protection, and loan forgiveness. Bureaucracy, leadership styles, and policy issues addressed during his visit gave him an overall positive experience. His drive to go to D.C. was from a sense of urgency since “we have a President, certainly a first lady and administration who is willing to put attention on universities that serve the majority of Americans.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/innovationalliance/message

You've probably seen recent headlines regarding the potential early release of around 76 thousand incarcerated people in California. This comes after the state enacted regulations that would give good behavior credits and could shorten sentences for various offenders, including violent offenders. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has said the department wants to provide opportunities to incarcerated individuals. Although it's been reported that it could take years for individuals to reach an early release, the state's decision received backlash from many district attorneys who have called for a repeal of the temporary regulations. Today on AirTalk, we discuss what the implications of the state's decision are, why some are opposed to the move and how it impacts the incarcerated community, prison populations and more. Are you or one of your loved ones impacted by this decision? What are your thoughts? Share by calling 866-893-5722. We reached out to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, but the department didn't respond to our request for an interview.

Imagine serving a life sentence in prison for stealing a floor jack from a tow truck? Many of the clients our guest today, Michael Romano, has represented were drug addicts or homeless when they got caught up in California’s Three Strikes law that forced minimum sentences and locked up thousands of nonviolent offenders for 20, 30 years and more. Romano, the founder of Stanford's Three Strikes and Justice Advocacy Project, has become a leading voice in criminal reform in California and the nation—shining a light on the high cost to both the imprisoned and the taxpayer, who foots the bill. Romano, who was recently appointed to chair the state’s new criminal law and policy reform committee, the California Committee on the Revision of the Penal Code, joins Stanford Legal to talk about the criminal justice crisis in American and efforts in California to release nonviolent offenders through reform of the Three Strikes law and other legal reforms.
