Bernie Sanders – Justice and Safety For All (Bernie Sanders)
For most of our history as a country, the United States
incarcerated people at about the same rates as other western
democracies do today. In the early 1970s we had the same low
crime rate as today, but we now have an incarceration rate five
times higher. Indeed, America is now the world’s leading jailer.
We lock up more than 2 million people in America, which is more
of our own people than any country on Earth. And that does not
include another 5 million people who are under the supervision of
the correctional system.
Hundreds of thousands of incarcerated people in America have not
been convicted of a crime and are solely in jail because they
can’t afford their bail. We are criminalizing poverty.
Sanders’s Criminal-Justice Plan Is Wrong in So Many Ways
(National Review)
It’s based on the false premise that the justice system is
draconian and racially oppressive, and it ignores that most
prisoners are in state, not federal, prisons.

Indiana Risk Assessment System (Indiana)
Assessments are utilized to determine specific criminal risk
factors and needs. They may be used by courts, probation,
community corrections, institutional facilities, and can be used
to assist with determining pre-trial release, sentencing,
supervision intensity, and treatment needed (i.e. cognitive
behavioral, mental health, and substance abuse.)
