Republicans warn that California's SB 898, designed to improve protections against sexual abuse in prisons, might reduce sentences for violent offenders.
FIRST ON FOX — A Democrat-led bill meant to protect prisoners from sexual violence while incarcerated in California state facilities by addressing issues related to sexual abuse could wind up reducing violent criminals' sentences altogether, state Republicans warn. SB 898, authored by Berkeley Democrat state Sen.
Meanwhile, Skinner's bill focuses on several proposals regarding how sexual abuse and sentencing issues are handled within the California prison system. It mandates that the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation monitor incarcerated individuals who report sexual abuse for 90 days to prevent retaliation. 'If somebody's being raped in prison, then obviously we need to isolate those incidences and do something to correct that,' Dahle said in response.
