in california, those laws are pretty heavily regulated. for example, the private screening firms cannot report of arrests -- or they are not supposed to -- and i cannot report convictions going back more than seven years. federal law does not even close, not nearly as good. that is consumer protection law. then, applicants are entitled not to report arrest on an application, so we are very familiar with lots of good laws on the books that are never enforced. the real challenge is to get about enforcing these laws. i do not know if you want to talk about it -- >> tell us about what is next. how can we be successful in taking -- you mentioned there are some good laws on the books. do we -- do they go far enough? how can we take it further? how can we essentially this reform? this seems to be critical. >> we had this huge proliferation of background checks. this huge proliferation of this industry that is collecting all these criminal records, and you have way more people walking around with a criminal record. one in five, as was mentioned. s

one of california's largest industries. but each year, public defenders and private providers of quality defense battle for every dollar needed to protect this constitutional right. the bar association of san francisco is committed to partnerering with, not competing with our public defenders. san francisco fortunate to have a strong public defender and a bar system committed to quality representation for the poor. to best guarantee quality indigent defense, our partnership with the public defender and bar association is essential. they are each other's complements. the sum of the part that makes the whole of criminal defense work so well in san francisco. a challenge for our profession will be to ensure that cities and counties fighting seemingly endless budget deficits do not fall prey to the burgeoning business offered through websites of contract services for criminal defense. our constitution mandates that people accused of crimes be represented by comp at the present time council. not the last expensive council. on a

it comes as california officials are questioning the federal secure california program. they oppose a program taking fingerprints to identify and deport undocumented immigrants. >> now that there's more information out on the impact of secure communities and the very large number of people who are deported who have no criminal record, there's some push back. >> hennessey says next wednesday he will stop honoring immigration and customs enforcement holds on those arrested on misdemeanor charges. >> we still work i.c. with i.c.e. but we would like to work with them on the larger manners not the small manner. >> reporter: i.c.e. says it has so far helped to deport 4,000 people from california. 40% who had prior criminal records. >>> u.s. census bureau says the hispanic population grew four times faster than any other group between 2000 and 2010. 28% of latinos in the u.s. live in california making up the majority in nine counties. the biggest surge was in the south and midwest where the number of latinos doubled in the first decade of the 21st century. >>> this is going to

the people of california are ready to end the death penalty. a couple of weeks ago we were able to do a poll on the question of the governor converting all of these 713 death sentences to life without possibility of parole, and a change would save the city california $1 billion in five years. 63% of the voters support this idea across the entire state. every region of the state had a majority of support. a majority of republicans and democratic voters support this idea. 63%, ready for the governor to take everyone off of death row. this is an important change from where we used to be on this issue, because for a very long time, politicians have been afraid to talk about reasons for ending the death penalty and this has been seen -- been seen as an issue that would run political careers, as the former district attorney has shown, the death penalty is no longer of liability and the voters are ready for candidates who will say that we need smart criminal- justice policy, to keep the community safe and that will hold the offenders accountable, and

and northern california are real. i just wanted to reassure you that we have seen the same thing. when we look at our kaiser data and to our kaiser rate renewals, those costs are divided between northern california costs and southern california costs, and you see the same variation. there is no coherent rationale for why costs vary between facilities or side of service. as you pointed out in your remarks this morning, you could look at the same procedure in the same locale and see those prices vary from 2.5 to three times more between one facility and another in the same geographic area, and we have found no rationale that allows that to be explained. i want to pause here from my prepared remarks to talk about the colonoscopy benefits. you will probably hear about our hips and knees referenced by saying, and i'll be happy to talk about it, but also in the blue shield plan, we did implement a colonoscopy benefit, whereby if a member seeks their colonoscopy from an ambulatory surgery centers, they do not have a share of

thank god i'm in california. show me some pot, you know? california is wonderful, but it is not that way in the rest of the country. they are still giving people felony convictions for possession of marijuana. you guys are really progressive. the rest of this country is not. the rest of this country is fighting a war that you cannot even protest. we are so far, even though barack is in the white house, isn't that great? the country is more right wing than you ever realized. besides berkeley and madison, an arbor, san francisco, and the rest of this country is right wing. what does that mean in terms of what is happening? we have 7 million people in constructive custody. 7 million at this moment. jail, prison, probation, parole. last year, 80 million people were arrested in the united states. 1/3 of them were released in 26 hours. about 2/3 spent a day or longer in jail. we are incarcerating and solemnizing -- felonizing this population. you cannot discriminate by race, but you can buy criminal record. wisconsin was a police state, very libe

california law, so cleaning your record up to the extent allowable under california state law is really different from saying "clean slate." i feel like we are at best raising expectations unfairly because there is no clean slate in california, but we are trying to improve the laws that there are and expand them. actually, this session and assembly -- my coworker who works on policy in my office has been successful in working with community partners and putting forward ab 2068, and it is really a technical fix, not sending terribly exciting, and if i say it, your eyeballs will fall out of your head, but it basically updates penal code section 1204a the expunge men or dismissal remedy, and brings it up to the same level as 120 3.4. the point is in some cases, people who can get that a remedy for cases when they did not go to prison, there will be eligible to legally say -- some people, certain jobs, they are able to answer "no convictions" for certain jobs, but again, is a far cry from now even having to answer those questions. the problem with the laws in california are that they are ve

and southern california. in fact, in a recent article, the "los angeles times" reported that where hospitals in san francisco get on average $7,349 per patient per day, hospitals in los angeles county by comparison only receive $4,389. that is about $3,000 in difference. in san bernardino county, the figure is actually $3,931. both aetna inc. and blue shield say they charge higher rates to customers in northern california. they actually acknowledge that. then they do customers in southern california. aetna charges 30% more. blue shield says it charges up to 40% more. that comes directly from them. the issue becomes especially urgent, as the city has before it a proposal by one of the hospitals, by california pacific medical center, to build a 555- bed hospital in the cathedral hill. let me be clear -- the focus of this hearing is not that project. that project is going through the approval process and will duly come before the planning commission and the board of supervisors, and we, as members of the board,

i even tried cases throughout california, denver and new york. but something deeply concerned me about the problems in the criminal injustice system. i began to challenge the practices right here in san francisco where they were not only shackling prisoners but they were putting them in a cage like you see at the zoo and i took that case on and i won. i was arguing that the presumption of innocence did not allow this barbaric treatment. i also worked to improve conditions in prisons separating juveniles from adults and even getting women as mate rons for women prisoners. but as i tried more and more cases i became convinced that the only way we could have equal and fair justice systems was to provide lawyers for the court. i called them public defenders. >> mrs. clara shortridge fultz who was introducing her proposed law on lawyers for the poor here at the 1893 chicago worlds fair. >> thank you. the recommend disof many of the evils of -- remedies of many of the evils nice the appointment of a public defender. for every public prosecutor there sh
