I think that's the point of this law, the jails are full of people who have done stupid things and are stuck in jail for life.
The following felonies no longer count if the proposition passes:
* Attempted burglary
* Conspiracy (multiple people planning) to commit assault
* Nonresidential arson resulting in no significant injuries
* Burglary of an unoccupied residence
* Threats to commit acts that would result in significant personal injury
* Participation in felonies committed by a criminal street gang.
* Unintentional infliction of significant personal injury while committing a felony offense.
* Interfering with a trail witness without the use of force or threats and not in the furtherance of a conspiracy
