    Let's talk about the U.S. criminal-legal system. If the U.S. wants to be the "just nation" it purports to be, then its policymakers need to check out @civilrightsorg, @CiviRightsCorp and 115 orgs #VisionForJustice2020 platform and rethink justice in the U.S. from the ground up.

        The U.S. leads the world in imprisoning or supervising more than 6.6 million people, while breaking up families and communities every day.

        1 in 28 kids has an incarcerated parent. 20% or more of these kids are under the age of 4. 5 million or more have had an incarcerated parent in the past. 1 in 5 adults has a parent who has been incarcerated.

        Every night in the U.S., approximately 500,000 people sleep in jail because they are detained pretrial — often because they cannot afford bail.

        More than 80% of people charged with felonies cannot afford a private lawyer and often must rely on under-resourced public defenders, contract attorneys, or court-appointed counsel.

        Every year, more than 600,000 people return home from prison, and more than 9 million leave local jails.

        That's a lot to unpack. But if your takeaway from these statistics is that the U.S. criminal-legal system impacts EVERYONE EQUALLY, that picture isn't totally accurate. Black people and other people of color are disproportionately harmed by our current justice system.

        This started before Trump, and it's going to continue long after Trump. Unless we take meaningful action to create humane, equitable, and accountable criminal-legal systems at the federal, state, and local level.

        That's why @civilrightsorg, @CivRightsCorps and 115 other groups created a #VisionForJustice2020 & Beyond platform, to make it easy for 2020 candidates. It's essentially a cheat sheet for how to reform the U.S. criminal-legal system. http://bit.ly/Justice2020

        This is because of the private ownership of prisons. Human beings make people money by being incarcerated.

        Let’s call it what it actually is slave labor in slave camps which is why they enjoy throwing black and brown people in jail which is why we must end the war on drugs legalize marijuana and undue the harm those laws have done while the rich are profiting off of it
