A redesign of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation website will make it harder for voters to inspect Sen. Kamala Harris's controversial record as the state's top cop.
The department removed public access to a number of reports on incarceration in the state, including when presidential candidate Kamala Harris was California's attorney general.
These reports provide important information on demographics, sentence length, offense type, and other figures relevant to criminal justice and incarceration.
Until recently, these reports were publicly available at the CDCR's website.
A search using archive.org's Wayback Machine reveals that as of April 25, 2019-the most recent indexed date-ODP reports were available dating back to the spring of 2009.
The changes matter in part because the reports contain information about Harris's entire time as state A.G., 2011 to 2017.
Gabbard cited a Washington Free Beacon analysis - based in part on the ODP reports - that found that more than 1,500 Californians were sent to prison while Harris was attorney general.
