Sentencing enhancements don’t work. They are the product of a tough on crime sentencing era that led to our racist system of mass incarceration. These enhancements have torn apart families & communities, all while making us less safe. It’s time we end them.pic.twitter.com/5E5mjwnsbF

Zero deterrence. You are an embarrassment. Where is the data to support your claims?

The wildest part about this is that there’s no actual evidence that this harsh sentencing is working, yet anyone opposed to it has to come up with a mountain of data to head in any other direction. Harsh sentencing isn’t a deterrence, that’s well established in research.

Crime went way down in every jurisdiction at the same rate during that time frame, regardless of whether they imposed a three strikes penalty or not.https://www.americanbar.org/groups/crsj/publications/human_rights_magazine_home/human_rights_vol29_2002/spring2002/hr_spring02_vitiello/ …

It's not that it deters crime. It's that it keeps criminals locked up so they can't commit more crime. And cause we're sick and tired of them hurting innocent people.

But even if that were the case, crime rates would drop more in three strikes jurisdictions, which they don’t.
