Just spoke to the NAACP about criminal justice reform, something many broadly agree on. Some stats:
-
The $80 billion we spend each year to keep people incarcerated could pay for universal pre-K for every 3-year-old and 4-year-old in America.
The $80 billion we spend each year on incarcerations could double the salary of every high school teacher in America.
-
-
We could eliminate tuition at every public college and university in America with the $80 billion we spend each year on incarcerations.
-
Mass incarceration doesn't work. Let's build communities that give kids a shot at success and prisons that prepare people for a 2nd chance.
