Do you have evidence of the $950 figure? I read through prop 57 and it concerns parole boards allowing non violent offenders to be released after they fully complete their initial sentence for the primary crime. From Wikipedia: “ Previously, prisoners were often required to serve extra time by a sentence enhancement, such as those for repeated offenders.”
Additionally it allows for juvenile judges to have leeway in deciding if a juvenile should be tried as an adult.

Classifies theft of up to $950 as Petty Theft. https://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-ff-pol-proposition47-20141106-story.html https://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-ff-pol-proposit... https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_47,_Reduced_Penalties_for_Some_Crimes_Initiative_(2014) https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_47,_Reduced_P...

Now you can just walk around stealing packages with virtually no consequences. SFPD all but refuses to cite for theft now.
