Mizeur’s Crime Plan Calls For Shift From ‘Mass Incarceration’ To Prevention In Maryland

Maryland Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Heather R. Mizeur on Wednesday plans to release a far-reaching crime plan that calls for ending mandatory minimum prison sentences, replacing juvenile detention centers with community-based treatment programs and making it far easier for people with criminal convictions to shield them from future employers.

A copy of the 18-page plan, which was shared with The Washington Post, also seeks to place further restrictions on guns in Maryland, where lawmakers adopted some of the most sweeping reforms in the country last year in the wake of the school shootings in Newtown, Conn.

Mizeur, a Montgomery County delegate, calls her approach “transformational” and “holistic” and is highly critical of “antiquated ‘tough on crime’ policies” that have been pursued under Gov. Martin O’Malley (D), whom she is seeking to succeed.

She is but Another Democrat socialist pansy living on the fringe of the counter culture. Her soft on crime approach will only serve to enable hard core criminals and sociopaths. Her stance on gun control rivals Hitler.
Trust that her voice needs to be silenced or we will all be living in the world of mad max and fruit loops.
She exists in her own mind as a revolutionary when in fact she is a flake.

(9:13 - You're quite right. Maybe she needs to work for just one week at a DOC facility on a tier as a CO preferably at North Branch. Her unrealistic experiment combined with very little knowledge and lack of common sense will only get Marylanders killed & raped. She is the perfect example of a tax and spend communist liberal.

The ones that are currently incarcerated really deserve to rot in jail - multiple/violent/gang/CDS offenders that are learning more nefarious trades every day.

Sorry bim - we need the opposite of what you're touting!
