Unfortunately we are seeing this in places like LA and SF, where they have hired District Attorneys that ran on platforms to minimize prison sentences and look at other ways to rehabilitate law breakers. This falls in line with Brown's plan when he was Governor, to reduce prison sizes, that Newsom has continued. I'm not sold on short prison sentences as a method to keep people from breaking the law. I haven't seen any data, but this just doesn't seem like it works.

What is happening now and will continue to happen in California is proof that these insane liberal policies are failing. It will only get worse until Californians vote out the corrupt DemocRats.

1. Keeping people in prison costs money. That money could be spent elsewhere if prison populations were reduced.
2. The majority of criminals aren't dangerous to the public, and could be released under supervision. There's no public safety benefit in keeping, say, drug possession offenders or financial crimes offenders in the clink.
3. In point of fact, prison in general has been shown to be a poor deterrent to crime. That's because many potential offenders do a rational risk/benefit analysis. Yeah, we could change that by making every offense result in a life sentence. But we already have the highest proportion of the population in prison in the civilized world.
LOCK 'EM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!!!!!! sounds good to conservitards and is always a potent weapon to be used by conservitard politicians who want to run on a "law and order" platform. But isn't a huge number of people in prison indicative of a failure of law and order? Is that what we really want?
I've also pointed out that even "short" prison sentences are drastic punishments, as a person who has served any kind of sentence will never be able to get a place to live, a bank loan, any decent non-menial job, even simple things like library cards. So those who think that a prison sentence that isn't at least twenty years isn't an adequate punishment are full of shit. You're branded for life, and thanks to the internet, you can't hide from the stigma.
Realizing factors like this is oh so LIBURRUL, but the prison and justice systems have to be reformed. However, conservitards hate change, and bleats like David's have always been red meat for the base.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

What does that have to do with anything?
