Proposition 5, slated to be on California's November ballot, would increase funding and oversight for drug treatment and rehab programs. Supporters say the measure offers "common sense" solutions to prison overcrowding and would provide help for young first-time offenders to bounce back from drug addiction. Opponents say the initiative is too expensive for California and is really a "get-out-of-jail-free" card for hard-core criminals. Larry talks with Dave Fratello, Yes on 5 Campaign Manager, and John Spillane, Chief Deputy District Attorney Los Angeles County, representing No on 5.
