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

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.

It doesn’t work though. You’re also applying this to extreme cases (like most overtly punitive justice policy) and not focusing on the vast majority of people this type of thinking ensnares. That’s not to mention you’re referring to a set of laws specifically shown to be unjust.

Not to mention Honduran drug dealers that do laps around my block for the past four years (the same mother fuckers) killing people with crack, fentanyl, heroin etc. Sanctuary cities don’t work. San Francisco is broken and the chief prosecutor is making it worse.
