Prison Reform

"For people who have committed crimes that have landed them in jail, there needs to be a path back from prison. The federal system of parole needs to be reinstated. We need real education and real skills training for the incarcerated."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders
It is morally repugnant and a national tragedy that we have privatized prisons all over America. In my view, corporations should not be allowed to make a profit by building more jails and keeping more Americans behind bars. We have got to end the private-for-private racket in America.

~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"Overall, we need bold change in our criminal justice system. A good first step forward is to start treating prisoners as human beings, not profiting from their incarceration. Our emphasis must be on rehabilitation, not incarceration and longer prison sentences."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"We must demilitarize police departments and end minimum sentencing. These are real issues that need to be dealt with."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"We need to end, once and for all, the disgraceful practice of corporations profiting from the incarceration of Americans."
