Well, so California had, up until, let's say, 2011- one of the most stringent criminal justice systems in the entire country. We, of course, like we're the force behind the three strikes law. And three strikes put a lot of bad people away for forever. But it had problems, too, to be honest. Like, there were problems and there were reforms applied to it to reduce, you know, potential injustices.

Right. And I support those, but... Nevertheless, three strikes and also the introduction of what are called enhancements. So special circumstance enhancements in which, let's say you use a gun in a crime. You use a gun that adds 10 years penalty. Additionally to your conviction, if you use a gun and you shoot someone, that's 20 years. If you use a gun and kill someone, it's life.

So that's an enhancement. If you're a gang member and engage in whatever crime, gang enhancements would apply and those would add to the sentencing. Right. These things were all eliminated and obliterated in big parts by directives that came from the so-called Soros DAs, the progressive DAs in 2020. But the dismantling started really following this Supreme Court case.

So the first law that was a big problem and put us on this path was called AB 109. It's called the Public Safety Realignment Act. And the idea was to reduce the number of prisoners in the state system you would transfer so-called nonviolent, non-sexual, low-risk offenders to county jails. There's a problem, though.
