California Proposition 6 would amend the state constitution to remove a provision allowing jails and prisons to impose involuntary servitude on inmates and to discipline those who refuse to work.

Now, certain drug offenses and thefts under $950 can be classified as felonies rather than misdemeanors if the suspected perpetrator has two or more past convictions for theft crimes.

Proposition 6 asks California voters whether to end involuntary servitude through forced labor in state prisons and jails. The measure has no formal opposition, but supporters say involuntary prison labor is rooted in slavery and should be removed from the state constitution.
