Easier parole for nonviolent offenders

Making nonviolent criminals eligible for parole helps rebalance scales tilted against them.

While this would ideally go through the legislative process, the scales are tilted so far against nonviolent criminals that making them eligible for parole is a positive. I side with Governor Brown on this. As an aside, see the official argument against the proposition for some over-the-top fearmongering.
