Hochman is exploiting a crisis to push failed policies.

Instead of helping wildfire victims, he’s using “looting” fears to justify harsh sentencing & mass incarceration.

Let’s break down what he’s NOT telling you. 🧵👇

[DA Accountability Coalition @LA_DAAC]

3️⃣ Who Gets Targeted?
Hochman isn’t using his time and resources on increasing safety.

Instead, he’s wasting time and money stacking excessive charges and pushing extreme sentences for burglary cases—cases that should be met with smart solutions that increase public safety.

2️⃣ Punishment ≠ Public Safety⁣⁣⁣
Hochman wants you to believe longer sentences deter crime. They don’t.⁣⁣⁣
Research shows that harsh penalties don’t reduce crime or recidivism—but access to education, jobs & stability do.⁣⁣⁣

Time for a fact check on SB 94.

✅A small population of the most elderly inmates are eligible
✅Their recidivism rate is 0%
✅Bill doesn’t automatically let people out of prison. It’s judicial review to consider those who have fully rehabilitated
✅Saves 100s of millions tax 💵

[Smart Justice California @SmartJusticeCA]

The same person who wants to pardon a white man convicted of murdering a Black Lives Matter protestor also thinks it's a bad idea to let CA judges take a second look at extreme sentences mainly served by people of color? 

This is why we need #SB94: justice is NOT meted fairly.

DA Gascón keeping promises. "Former Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey cleared both officers of wrongdoing in 2018, but the case was one of four her successor, George Gascón, promised to reopen after he was elected in 2020" https://t.co/WkMFhFSZUH

[Senator Dave Cortese @SenDaveCortese]

Gov. Abbott trying to look tough after attempting to pardon a man convicted of killing a Black Lives Matter protestor.

My SB 94 gives a small population of elderly people a chance to prove to a judge that they are fully rehabilitated after serving at least 2 decades in prison.

🧵: Our demands for @LACountyBOS are clear: 👇🏾

1️⃣ Close Men’s Central Jail (MCJ) by reducing the jail population to less than 8,000 people, and use the funds for real community-based preventative care!
