A:
I need to be upfront that I cannot provide specific legal advice about your individual case, and my knowledge cutoff means I may not have complete information about recent California legal changes.
For general information: Proposition 36 historically dealt with drug treatment instead of incarceration, but you should verify any recent changes with your legal counsel. Federal "kickbacks" or transfers between state and federal custody typically depend on multiple factors beyond just state propositions.
Your best course of action is to speak directly with your attorney or legal representative who can review your specific case details. You can also request to speak with jail staff or contact the Riverside County Public Defender's office for guidance about how recent legal changes might affect your situation.
If you don't have legal representation, you have the right to request court-appointed counsel who can properly advise you on these matters. Local legal aid organizations may also be able to provide additional resources and information about your rights under current California law.
