I am happy that the urgency to reform our broken criminal justice system has found allies all across the political spectrum.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I want to be a figure for prison reform. I think that the criminal justice system is rotten.
I encourage everyone to pay attention to the issues that matter to you, from jobs and the economy, to education and our schools, to criminal justice reform. Whatever it is that you care about, make sure you use your voice.
I hope that a move toward clemency with Judge Afiuni would be a step towards the importance of maintaining a properly functioning justice system.
We need to notice and be aware of the injustices embedded in our criminal system.
The purpose of the criminal justice system is both to rehabilitate and to punish. If we can rehabilitate somebody, that's a huge, huge win.
Generally speaking, the public appetite for criminal justice policy is just tough talk.
To change criminal justice policy in any meaningful way means to propose changing a very longstanding system. It's not realistic to think you can do it overnight.
Squeeze human nature into the straitjacket of criminal justice and crime will appear.
I love cops; I'm fascinated by the criminal justice system.
The reason I like the criminal justice system is there aren't Republican or Democrat victims or police officers or prosecutors. It's about respect for the rule of law!
