Federal prisons are actually a fairly small portion of the mass incarceration pie, our local and state mass incarceration systems are much more prevalent. https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie.html …pic.twitter.com/c34td3cc4N

I would love it if we had released the non-violent criminals, we absolutely have not however. We absolutely need to for our own survival, in addition some of the violent crimes were minor and decades ago . Mass incarceration here has a long way to being just, or a safe path.

Living in America we do know little about what a functional or just criminal justice system looks like. Ours has been corrupted by for profit prison lobbyists and a punishment fetish. This excessive history leading Mass incarceration system is existentially dangerous to all.
