Proposition 57 is a California ballot proposition on the November 8, 2016 ballot that would allows parole consideration for nonviolent felons, authorize sentence credits for rehabilitation, good behavior, and education, and provides juvenile court judges to decide whether a juvenile will be prosecuted as an adult.[1]This proposition does have a fiscal impact. This would likely save the state tens of millions of dollars annually depending on how successful the proposition is implemented. Also, the county a few million dollars annually. This proposition allows juvenile court judges to determine whether or not juveniles of the age of 14 or older should be prosecuted and sentenced as an adult. If voted in favor to pass this proposition, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation would have to execute new parole and sentencing provisions and insure that they enhance the safety of the public.[2]
