Support state ballot measure to ban forced labor in California prisons
In Plain English
California's constitution currently allows forced labor in prisons as punishment for crimes, a legacy from 1849. Proposition 6 removes this exception and prevents punishment of incarcerated people who refuse work assignments to pursue education or rehabilitation instead. The city formally supports the November ballot measure by sending a resolution to state officials.
