Summary of the fact sheet:

• The SAFE California Act will save the state $1 billion in five years by replacing California’s death penalty with life without the possibility of parole. (The death penalty is in fact more expensive than a sentence of life in prison without parole)

• It requires inmates to work and pay restitution to the victim’s compensation fund.
•  It also creates the SAFE California Fund which sets aside $100 million or $30 million per year for three years to solve more rape and murder cases.
• It prevents innocent people from getting executed

People who support Prop 34:

• SAFE California is supported by a lead proponent of the 1978 death penalty initiative (Ron Briggs)
• The lawyer who wrote California’s death penalty law (Don Heller)
• The former warden who carried out four executions in this state (Jeanne Woodford).
