News & Events

Sunday, Oct. 24, 3-4 p.m. ACLU Takes a Look at the Death Penalty in California. The ACLU has been working to end death sentencing on constitutional grounds of cruel and unusual punishment. Today Los Angeles County has become the national leader in death sentencing, sending more people to death row in 2009 than the entire state of Texas. This alarming trend comes at an enormous cost: during a budget crunch, California is poised to spend $1 billion over the next five years on this dysfunctional and costly system. It provides hollow justice for victims’ families, who spend decades enduring appeals and clemency hearings. Come learn why permanent imprisonment is a safe and cost-effective alternative that provides swift and certain justice for prisoners and closure for victims' families. And find out how California can save a billion dollars without releasing a single prisoner. Viva Art Center, 13261 Moorpark St. (at Fulton), Sherman Oaks, CA 91423. Information: 818.385.0080
