Lawmakers across the country have rolled back reforms meant to decrease reliance on police and prisons.

In California , a new ballot initiative could toughen sentences for shoplifting and selling fentanyl.

In Louisiana , Louisiana all but eliminated parole, expanded execution methods in capital cases and increased the time people spend behind bars.

In Illinois , a law that ended cash bail was attacked for ushering in the “end of days ” and “murder, mayhem’s mayhem” Groups working to end domestic and sexualized violence had been deeply involved in shaping the law.

Politicians in the state, from Pritzker on down, stood by the law, and despite attacks, the reforms remained in place.
