Alternative Sentencing for Los Angeles Drug Crimes

In 2000, California voters passed Proposition 36, the Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act, which changed state law to allow first and second time, nonviolent simple drug possession offenders to receive alternative sentencing in lieu of imprisonment. The substance abuse treatment provided by Proposition 36 gives an offender the chance to turn his/her life around by receiving much needed treatment.
