Decrease prison populations; focus on rehabilitation
I support strong, bipartisan action to decrease prison populations and focus our attention on rehabilitation, not incarceration. We incarcerate far more non-violent offenders per capita than any other developed nation, it's costing our taxpayers
billions of dollars.
Support for bills such as the bipartisan Justice Safety-Valve Act of 2013, which would shorten mandatory minimums and expand the judicial sentencing safety valves, is a great place to start.
