Document Summary
Reasons for dsl, according to brown: people were lingering in prison and didn"t know when they would be released, racial minorities might be in longer, prisoners were compelled to mouth certain words to demonstrate their readiness for freedom. White parole boards seemed to be trying to get the prisoners to have a certain mentality, messing with their heads. It didn"t seem right to me. : it came to me that if they did the crime, they should do the time. Brown says out. : punishment should be swift, certain, and definite. Bipartisan criticism of dsl: then-lapd chief ed davis, a conservative republican, planning to run against. Brown, complained that prisoners no longer would have to pay much attention to guards. Brown is going to blow these prisons up before i can take over as governor : state sen. alan sieroty, a liberal democrat from la, feared that fixed sentencing would lead to longer terms.
