"For
people who have committed crimes that have landed
them in jail, there needs to be a path back from
prison. The federal system of parole needs to be
reinstated. We need real education and real skills
training for the incarcerated."
~ Sen.
Bernie Sanders
It
is morally repugnant and a national tragedy that
we have privatized prisons all over America. In
my view, corporations should not be allowed to make
a profit by building more jails and keeping more
Americans behind bars. We have got to end the private-for-private
racket in America.

"Our
job is to make police departments look like the
communities they serve. Our job is to make sure
non-violent offenders do not get locked up. Our
job is to rethink the war on drugs. Our job is
to demilitarize police departments. Our job is
to end mandatory minimum sentences."

Bernie Sanders
"Overall,
we need bold change in our criminal justice system.
A good first step forward is to start treating prisoners
as human beings, not profiting from their incarceration.
Our emphasis must be on rehabilitation, not incarceration
and longer prison sentences."

need to end, once and for all, the disgraceful practice

of Americans."
