Here's the ballotpedia summary. In addition to saying this will cost AN ADDITIONAL $$$$ 1/2 BILLION per year $$$$, it says:
Proposition 6 would:

• Require new state spending on various criminal justice programs, as well as for increased costs for prison and parole operations. This funding would come from California's General Fund, reallocating funds currently spent on K-12 Education, Higher Education, Health and Human Services, Business, Transportation and Housing, and Environmental Protection [1]

• Deems any youth 14 years or older who is convicted of a gang-related felony as unfit for trial in a juvenile court and prosecuting these youths as adults.

• Necessitate that all occupants who are recipients of public housing subsidies submit to annual criminal background checks and lose housing if convicted of a recent crime.

• Increase penalties for several crimes, including violating gang injunctions, using or possessing to sell methamphetamine, or carrying loaded or concealed firearms by certain felons.

• Eliminate bail for illegal aliens charged with violent or gang-related felonies.

• Establish as a crime the act of removing or disabling a monitoring device affixed as part of a criminal sentence.

• Change evidence rules to allow use of certain hearsay statements as evidence when witnesses are unavailable.[2]

• Requires a majority vote to add

• Require a 3/4 vote to amend.

Mixed bag is right. I couldn’t vote for that as it reads.
