America is 5% or world population and has 25% of her prisoners. We as a country have the highest rate of incarceration in the history of man, or in the world today.
We have too many prisoners.
@chesaboudin thanks for your efficient use of the horrors of incarceration.

We are discussing san francisco not the us. He only has control over who gets convicted here in sf. San Francisco has the 2nd lowest rate of sending convicted criminals to prison only below alpine county.

"The reality is San Francisco incarcerates African Americans at a rate of 1700/100000 residents. For context thats three times the rate of Russians during the gulags. Its the highest incarceration of african americans per capita of any major city." https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=9&v=Qiuwf1H44ig&feature=emb_logo …

Cool those violent crimes should be the focus of our criminal Justice system instead of its current contra- productive purpose of enforcement of non violent crimes.

My problem with this overall is the concept that you think we can "remove people from society" I know this is obviously not a possible thing. We still pay to house clothe feed and medically treat them.

But we've taken the system intended for use on killers and applied it a historically large interpretation of wrong doers. Yes society needs to protect itself, no the criminal Justice system should be used to attempt to impose morals!

If only our criminal justice system were used mostly to address crimes of property or life. In fact thats a primary reason why I am so proud to support @chesaboudin .pic.twitter.com/Xqf4qEDp4a
