On Crime: Supports criminal justice reform and policing standards

Turner says, "The criminal justice system is inherently unjust to Black and Brown people. We need to reimagine how we do policing and while we are at it, let's fix the entire system from the judiciary to the streets." Implement alternatives to incarceration where appropriate. End mandatory minimum sentencing and the death penalty. Create national policing and use of force standards. Ensure law enforcement accountability. End for-profit prisons and immigration detention centers.
