So how does this work for people already locked up for possession. Can they be let out since if they were caught with the weed now they would not be breaking the law?

"Prop 64 also would authorize the resentencing and destruction of records for prior marijuana convictions."

If they have a felony, then there is a process already for getting it reduced. http://myprop47.org/change-my-record/

If they were arrested recently though, or less than a felony, then I'm not sure.
