I just returned from Rikers Island where a group of elected officials exercised our legal right to inspect correctional facilities. What I witnessed was a humanitarian crisis. A horror house of abuse and neglect. I'll share more soon but for now my message is simple: decarcerate.

Breaking the law is a decision. Make that decision and accept the consequences. Do prisons need to be humane? Yes. But prison is for those who break the law. Period.

Prisons should be for VIOLENT law breakers only. A drugs, shoplifting, or simply ‘resisting arrest’ do not count. And eliminate bail. Jailing the innocent because they are poor is so unfair. Our new progressive DA in San Francisco agrees. #ChesaBoudin
