California Criminal Justice Reform: Prison Closures
<p>Since 2009, California has taken a deep dive into prison reform passing measures starting with AB109, Proposition 47, Proposition 57, etc. all geared to change the way that crime is managed and how the criminal is held accountable. Through these efforts, the State has moved those inmates who have committed crimes that were deemed “non-violent“ and “non-serious“ to serve time in County jails, leaving only the most serious and violent offenders to serve their sentences in California prisons. Now, however, the state is closing prisons, several of them, at a record pace. What does this mean for the dangerous inmates who are serving time in these prisons and where will they go? And what does this mean for California whose crime rate continues to skyrocket? The victims’ voices have not been heard in all of these policy decisions. I will be joined by Michael Ramos, former District Attorney of San Bernardino County, and Paul Cappitelli, a Retired Sheriff’s Captain and former Executive Director for the California Peace Officer’s Standards and Training Commission (POST) to discuss prison reform, crime, and what is really happening behind the curtain.

Justice for Frank
<p>Justice for Frank. On the evening of April 18, 1974 a deranged psychopathic killer broke into the home of Frank Carlson and his wife Annette. He wanted money. They gave him what they had. He wanted more. He forced Annette to tie Frank up. He went on to torture and beat Frank to death with things he found in their home. Once Frank was dead. The killer took Annette upstairs where he would spend the next four hours, repeatedly raping and beating her. When he was finished, he left her for dead. To cover his crimes he poured paint thinner around the house and set it on fire. He left with stolen jewelry he would later pawn. But Annette Carlson survived and live to identify the killer. He was captured and convicted of first-degree murder, rape, torture, arson, burglary, and other offenses. He was sentenced to death by a jury of his peers. But then everything changed. Please join me and Eric Carlson, Frank’s younger brother as we discuss the crime punishment, and Eric‘s quest for justice for his brother. Justice for Frank.
