Proposition 6: Involuntary servitude
California Propositions
Thursday, October 10, 2024 - 3 minutes
Proposition 6 would amend the California Constitution to prohibit the state from punishing inmates with involuntary work assignments and from disciplining those who refuse to work. Instead, state prisons could set up a volunteer work assignment program to take time off sentences in the form of credits. It would let county or city ordinances set up a pay scale for inmates in local jails. Ed reviews the pros and cons of the proposition.
