Pillar 14 of 17Criminal Justice Reform
End mass incarceration and the War on Drugs. Invest in communities, not cages.
Our criminal justice system is broken. We incarcerate more people than any other nation on earth. True safety comes from stable, well-resourced communities with trusted partners in law enforcement.
The Sacks Agenda
- Legalize marijuana at the federal level and expunge all past marijuana-related convictions.
- End the federal death penalty and solitary confinement.
- End cash bail and the criminalization of poverty.
- Demilitarize the police by restricting the transfer of military equipment to local law enforcement.
- Invest in non-police first responders for mental health crises and substance abuse issues.
