California is facing a major change with Senate Bill 898 (SB 898), brought to us by Senator Nancy Skinner from Berkeley. This bill says it wants to keep prisoners safe from harm, but it looks more like it’s making things easier for criminals than protecting our people—ain’t that something?

Undermining Victims’ Rights

SB 898 is a big step too far by California Democrats, who think our justice system is too tough.

Imagine this: every three years, inmates, even those who’ve done terrible things like rape or child abuse, might get a chance to have their sentences reduced.

That means victims have to go back to court, face their attackers, and relive their pain over and over. Does that sound fair to you?

Decriminalizing Crime

Governor Gavin Newsom might tell you crime is down, but don’t be fooled—those numbers are tricky.

In reality, with 30% fewer convictions last year due to softer laws, crime isn’t really going down; we’re just calling it less criminal.

SB 898 is just part of a bigger plan that makes it too easy for the bad guys, telling them they won’t have to pay the full price for their actions. Huh, how does that make sense?

Promoting Lawlessness and Disorder

Now, here’s where it gets really messy. The California District Attorneys Association calls SB 898 a “revolving door” for violent offenders, and they’re not joking.

By making it easier for these folks to get out early, we’re playing a risky game with our safety.

Are we ready to roll the dice on our security, betting on the chance that maybe, just maybe, these criminals won’t do it again?

Conclusion: Time to Step Up

SB 898 isn’t just a small mistake—it’s a big slap in the face to every Californian.

It shows us that protecting dangerous criminals has become more important than keeping our communities safe and standing up for victims.

We need to push back against this bill and others like it that threaten what we value most.

So, let’s not sit back and watch—let’s stand up, speak out, and make sure our voices are heard loud and clear.

Together, we can make a real difference and keep California safe for everyone.
