WHAT IS PROP 36
Prop. 36 is a piece of California legislation that passed in November 2000 that requires convicted non-violent drug offenders to be placed in treatment as a condition of probation, as opposed to incarceration. The law also applies to state parolees who are convicted of new non-violent drug offenses or parole violations. CASC assesses the substance abuse problems of these offenders and refers them to treatment.
