"We have a system that imprisons and destroys the lives of millions of people," Sanders told The Associated Press before the planned released of his proposal Sunday."It's racist in disproportionately affecting the African American and Latino communities, and it's a system that needs fundamental change."
"Sometimes you don't even believe what you're hearing here," Sanders said Sunday, of the problems he sees in the criminal justice system. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness , 2 million people with mental illness are booked into jails annually. "Can you believe that, in the year 2019, 400,000 people are in jail awaiting a trial because they are poor?" Sanders said."That is a moral outrage, it is a legal outrage."
"You have a lot of resentment in minority communities all over this country, who see police forces not as an asset but as an invading force," Sanders said.
He's not talking about freeing rapists and murders he's talking about freeing people with minor drug offenses JACKASSES! There isnt going to be any free for all.
lol, he’s just angling for a certain population and their vote 🗳 i’ve got a great idea he can let them all be his neighbors!
HAHAHAHA..... his messages are getting more strained and desperate.... his time came and went..... he'd have a better chance in Venezuela.
The socialist way , take all our guns then set the Criminals free !
Biden is curing cancer!!! Bernie needs to up his game
is the old man puffing one of those joints?
The unintended consequences will be more viloent crime like we have in Chicago, St Louis and Baltimore.
Yeah, and mainstream media like ABC, is behind this guy all the way. Drink the Kool-Aid journalists
He should not be running as a Democrat.
Great...think gun violence is bad now.....
Will do anything to get the vote- to HELL with all the hard working law abiding citizens of the USA- throw it to anarchy and the end of the nation.
Private prisons ?
Warren/Sanders 2020
He just keeps getting crazier.
BernieSanders how would you cut the prison population in half without allowing violent criminals back into the streets? You’re 50% numbers don’t make sense unless a big majority of the people you release have committed violent crimes. Break it down for the American people Bernie
Hopefully they all go and visit him. But he’d be protected by guns
Lazy policies
Senile old idiot.
He’s a has been !
Great! Put drug dealers and violent offenders back on the streets? Realllly working out well in baltimore. smh. Why don't we ban all private business while we're at it? :eyeroll:
3/3 Nazi Bernie’s world - criminals run free, no cops, free weed, nobody works, everything is free, everyone on welfare, free monthly income, tax the rich, free housing, free school, no law and order, free for all! And the US turns into Venezuela and Cuba!
Senile octogenarian Nazi Bernie has lost his mind! It will be a lawless society and criminals will own the streets with their illegals guns! But don’t worry, all of the Liberals will be stoned with legal weed and they won’t care! Stupid Nazi ideas!
Good old Bernie out pandering for votes, legalizing weed just to get votes . He is the king of pandering and senator Harris is the queen of pandering. 90 % of these two freebies America can’t afford, they know this and still pandering for votes.
Maybe cut down the prison population by having the death penalty for murderers and child molesters.
Reminder: 'criminal justice reform' lets lets convicts out earlier...including violent convicts.
Uncle Bernie isn’t shy about promising everyone a FREE unicorn if he’s elected, but in reality it’s just a donkey with a plastic horn glued to its head.
How come all of Uncle Bernie’s “plans” never actually involve any ... well ... PLAN. He might as well promise everyone a free unicorn if he’s elected, it might be more realistic.
Most people in this world seem to have been affected by a nasty virus causing them to make or wanting to make dumb ass decisions and unfortunately a lot of them are in government!
That's the thing.. I was thinking in war of examinations of kasauti.. I found at the level of government we are doing lots of waste for prison.. and according to dharm they more of them are so much higher than else..
Ban private prisons? 😂
Unelectable........
If all you people below had even bothered to read the article, you would see how right he is !
👍
Silly dude.
what a jerk, it must be a DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST.
I was going to reply to this, but after reading the comments already posted, I think you all covered it pretty well!! RETIRE bernie!!
keepingthered
What?
You sound like George McGovern years ago.
Oh boy!!
He would free them all...if they promise not to come to his house.
Yes. I would go even further. I would require that all people on probation and parole we required to vote as a condition of their release. Think about it.
Trying to get a hook on prisoners vote.
How does that play in PA, WI and MI?
Democrats now of course the “Socialist Democratic Party” - but which one will win the race to “government’s redistribution of wealth”
All sounds good to me
OMG! Bernie sold his Communist soul to the 👹!
I’m surprised Bernie the lair Sanders, isn’t promising to pay off every Americans mortgage if they vote for Bernie. He’s way over US budget with all these free entitlement programs, by trillions every year. Fuzzy math lair. Not enough rich or people in America to pay for his lies
God help us if the old guy gets in. We will not have any law and order in this country. According to him just let every criminal do what they want. Police will be useless it will a catch and release program.
LOL, legalize drugs and cut prison sentences in the same sentence!
If he gets the nomination... EASY realDonaldTrump re-election!
What’s sad is he really believed this crap he’s peddling
Serious question. Is there anything that this guy wants to keep in the private sections hand at this point?
Great, a free for all.
SenSanders has lost his audience to SenWarren. This is a Hail Mary pass. Sad.
Yea sounds like a plan Bernie
I used to just laugh at Bernie but now he's starting to scare me a little bit. Not that he would ever win because the Democrats would never allow that, but the fact that people support these ideas.
I hope they will be released in his neighborhood
Nope criminals belong in jail
sanders20/20
This is why Bernie isn’t gon make it cuz all these will immensely benefit blacks and other minorities. Can’t happen now.
Offer Military service to 1st time offenders and you can accomplish most of this. Lower income people are victims of most of this. Rich can buy their 2nd chances. Spend more on our military, not our prisons.
Free half of all criminals, and take my guns....f*ck that
The criminals released should be assigned only to halfway houses in Democrat districts.
God help us
Always be wary of socialists who own holiday homes...
bernie: r voting rights for criminals in prison n for illegals in the works?
So in other words he loves criminals and getting high. Bernie is straight hippy gangster.
The nuthouse is calling, Bernie!!!
Bernie has lost what was left of his mind.
So half of those criminals either be slaughthered or put back to the community...so a problem becomes another problem Democrats think shit will do anything just to grab for that powerful position in the world
How stupid
Why is he smoking!
What could go wrong 🙄
Sounds like a real 💩show
