Here is Warren's criminal justice reform plan. You all know how passionate I am about our broken justice system. Let's me highlight a few of my favorites here.
- repealing the 94 crime bill. Be still my heart.
- address the legacy of the failed war on drugs. Legalize marijuana. Expand drug abuse treatment for people with drug problems that dont commit crimes against others. Decriminlize homeless people.
- decriminilizing poverty where poor people are fined to death then incarcerated for inability to pay.
- ending cash bail. 60% of the 750,000 in jails have not been convicted of a crime but simply cant pay because they are poor.
- restrict pre-trial fees and civil asset forfeiture.
- cap the assessment of fines and fees to a percent of income.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. I will add more later when I have more time.
