Past and present Senate candidates from Mississippi: on Crime


David Baria: Supports criminal justice reform in line with Black Caucus

The Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus (MLBC) announced that they would be supporting Democrat U.S. Senate candidate David Baria in the Democratic U.S. Senate runoff Thursday. Sonya Williams-Barnes, Chair of the Caucus said, "David's voting record on public education, Medicaid expansion, funding of mental health services and criminal justice reform is consistently in line with the votes of our Caucus."

Jensen Bohren: Reformed felons need their voting rights reinstated

We also need to re-examine the procedure of permanently removing the voting rights of freed, reformed felons to vote. After their time and parole have been served faithfully, returning their civil rights should be a standard approach. Making it difficult to regain their ability to participate in the running of their country disproportionately affects minority views in a way similar to Gerrymandering.

Jensen Bohren: Private prisons being encouraged to fill up to capacity

The second issue that I feel strongly about is Private Prison Reform. Currently, the issue is that the Private Prison lobby is encouraging as many prisoners as possible, as for each individual imprisoned they gain income. At the very least, 'full capacity' should be disincentivized, perhaps with a lump sum that does not depend upon total prisoner population.
