2020 NC Senatorial race: on Crime


Cal Cunningham: End mandatory minimum sentences for non-violent offenders

Cal is committed to criminal justice reform. Cal believes we should revisit mandatory minimum sentences for non-violent offenders. Cal is in favor of refocusing efforts on preventing violent crime instead of locking up people who, more than anything, need mental health or addiction treatment. We should also work to reduce recidivism by investing in programs that give people who have paid their debt to society the opportunity to re-enter their communities with dignity.
