  • Summary

  • This is “The State, Of California”, hosted by KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern, along with KCBS Radio news anchor Patti Reising. California voters rejected Proposition 6, which would have banned slave labor in the state’s prisons. The ballot measure lost by about seven percent, even though a similar one passed in Nevada by 20 points. Prop 6 would have outlawed slavery in California and gotten rid of the practice of forcing inmates to work, in involuntary servitude. Inmates would still have been able to work behind bars, but they would not have been able to be forced to do jobs against their will, and for little or no money. Prop 6 lost, even though there was no organized opposition or campaign against it. For more on this, Doug and Patti spoke with Carmen-Nicole Cox, an attorney with ACLU California Action. Among other things, she has been a Deputy DA in San Joaquin County, Deputy Legal Affairs Secretary for Governor Jerry Brown, and she is an Adjunct Professor at the McGeorge School of Law at the University of the Pacific.
