Justice Reform

The United States locks up more people than any other country in the world, and it’s clear that our current system isn’t working. We need to rethink it to focus on rehabilitation, reduce repeat offenses, and give people a real chance to rebuild their lives. That means providing reentry services for people leaving prison, offering comprehensive addiction and mental health support for inmates, and abolishing private prisons and forced prison labor, which profit off incarceration rather than addressing its root causes.

It also means ending qualified immunity, requiring community oversight for complaints against police officers, and legalizing marijuana while expunging past convictions related to it. Taking these steps would create a justice system that is fair, accountable, and focused on helping people rather than punishing them, giving everyone a genuine opportunity to live with dignity and fairness.
