      RED ALERT. Philadelphia's DA just issued the most revolutionary guiding document ever written from someone working INSIDE of America's justice system. It is groundbreaking. It represents the single biggest policy shift in criminal justice history.https://theintercept.com/2018/03/20/larry-krasner-philadelphia-da/ …

      I want you to see the groundbreaking 5 page policy document that Larry Krasner sent out to his team. Here's Page 4. Here is where Krasner says that prosecutors need to include the costs of incarceration on the record moving forward.

          This is brilliant. The issue is so clear: incarceration vs education, training, & rehabilitation. Replace punishment, for its own sake, w/ Justice & hope for the sake of our children and our future. Krasner frames it perfectly. Reminds me of the way Jesse addressed this in ‘84

          I had no idea. Thanks for posting this, Shaun. It emphasizes just how stupid it is to imprison people for things like marijuana possession.

          That is significant. It does not include health care/insurance part of living expenses. And wondering about mandatory minimums. This is just upon sentencing. What about not targeting for minor drug offences? Do police shoot to kill based on the bottom line?

          This is incredible. It's like the 95 theses or something.

          Sorry, this was at prosecution phase. On the record, no less.

          Sounds like breaking laws in Philadelphia will have little to no consequences
