Elizabeth Warren's criminal justice plan would abolish the death penalty and end cash bail

The Democratic presidential candidates have largely agreed on the broad strokes -- and necessity -- of reimagining the US' approach to criminal justice, which has led to a crisis of mass incarceration that disproportionately affects minorities and the poor.Warren's plan, which she spelled out in a new Medium post, would decriminalize marijuana and repeal large swaths of the 1994 crime bill, the most enduring product of the"tough on crime" era.

Warren would also stand up a pair of new initiatives -- a commission to recommend new steps for reining in prosecutorial abuse and another dedicated to identifying misconduct. The proposal calls back on a number of past policy planks. In her push to"decriminalize mental health crises," Warren points to"Medicare for All" and its promise of"continuous access" to care for the mentally ill.

No to Socialism. No to Communism. No to Elizabeth Warren. Yes to keeping our freedoms and our republic intact.

1991—Bernie opposed mass incarceration 1992—Warren says she told schools of Native American heritage for federal statistics 1994—Clinton admin recruited conservative Republican Warren. Bernie Slams Crime Bill

More good reasons not to vote for her and her plan to drive us into the 3rd world

Wtf. Didn’t Bernie just release his plan a couple of days ago? She’s riding his policy horse and it just keeps going.

And flood the streets with dangerous criminals. Great.

We love your plans similar to Beto, no?

You Dems are really tough on crime. 😂

So let me get this straight the most vicious criminal murdering type of person out there I should have to pay taxes to have them fed and locked up instead of having them put down are these the type of people that Elizabeth Warren is too afraid to apply the death penalty to.

More criminals on the streets and illegal for law abiding citizens to own guns .. yeah .. that’s a great plan oh yeah .. then give reparation cks out like they’re water ... 🤯

Both long overdue.

This is a good thing.

Yeah, now all the criminals will line up at our doorstep too.

Anti death penalty Pro abortion 😂😂😂

Those sound like christian beliefs. Doesn't she know she's only supposed to be a fakechristian like Vp in order to get elected?

It will also fill up USA with illegal aliens, raise your taxes because you will pay for the illegals, make ANTIFA and MS-13 the Terrorist wing of TheDemocrats and make USA a plantation dependent on the government

Why has the left become so anti-law enforcement? To what end? To me, bringing back public hangings is a possible useful deterrent against future crimes... and that is the goal of a lawful nation, yes?

Ya cant violate the US CONSTITUTION LADY KEEP DREAMING THE US SUPREME COURT WILL LOCK YA NUTTY AZZ UP

She would be destroyed by Trump.

I would end cash bail because people don’t deserve it, but I wouldn’t abolish the death penalty. I would actually extend it to major drug dealers

We don’t have a death penalty anyways . Executing a convict 75 years after conviction loses its effect along the line . Need different quicker methods

So killing criminals, killers and, rapist is bad but killing babies is ok?

Hilarious!!

Interesting🎶

Lol get use to the America.

How can I believe some one who lied about being Pocahontas for 30 years of her adult life? cnnlogic
