Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) unveiled a sweeping criminal justice reform plan Sunday aimed to combat “institutional racism” in the country. The plan includes diversifying police forces, creating a civilian corps of unarmed first responders, ending cash bail, and cutting the U.S. prison population in half.
Sanders released his plan as part of his effort to combat what he says is institutional racism and the criminalization of poverty.
“Hundreds of thousands of incarcerated people in America have not been convicted of a crime and are solely in jail because they can’t afford their bail. We are criminalizing poverty,” his plan states, adding that mass incarceration “disproportionately falls on the shoulders of black and brown people in America” due to the “legacy” of institutional racism.

Can this man be anymore of a clown. Damn the democrats are a bunch of a$$hats.
Civilian Corps of Unarmed First Responders, that's as bad as going to a gunfight with a knife
I say forced military, starting early and put them on the front line in war time. Done and done.
The man has no concept of reality. He preaches to those who are idealistic but not realistic.
8:28 Exactly !
The Bern is burnt out.
Last guy who died in prison was a wealthy white guy who reputedly offered to put up $100M in bail.
But I suppose we can honor Bernie's philosophy and release some trusted prisoners to work on his estates while they are on probation.
