Contra Costa District Attorney’s Secret Plan Not to Prosecute
In what is being dubbed a “Secret RFP”, the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office is set to move many more criminals into a Restorative Justice Program (RJD) before any charges are filed or potential jail time imposed.
Crimes eligible for the restorative justice program for adults ages 18-25, defined as “transitional age youth” would include child molestation, human sex trafficking, burglaries, organized retail theft, robberies, assaults, arsons, teen dating violence, sexual assault, and car theft and carjackings–murders and rapes are the only crimes excluded. The Request for Proposal (RFP-page 12) even calls these crimes” ideal pre-charge RJD cases”.
According to several sources within the District Attorney’s Office, they were horrified by the RFP release on October 10 and called it a “dangerous program” that would severely impact women in the county who could be sexually assaulted, or any teen, who go on a date and are the victim of a sexual assault. — Full Story
