This page on the campaign website of Mike Bloomberg report that yesterday, after "a roundtable discussion with Mayor Chokwe Lumumba and community leaders focused on criminal justice reform in Jackson, Mississippi, Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg ... unveiled three criminal justice reform policy proposals." Here is more:
The proposals focus on reducing the U.S. incarceration rate — the highest in the world — and addressing the failings of a criminal justice system that disproportionately harms communities of color. Bloomberg will unveil a comprehensive plan for criminal justice reform in the coming weeks....
The key pillars of Bloomberg’s initial criminal justice reform proposals include:
1. Launching a national initiative to reduce the incarceration of young people, by building on New York City’s success in cutting youth incarceration rates...
2. Expanding federal funding of effective alternatives to adult incarceration and investing in policies that help formerly incarcerated individuals re-enter society, find employment and escape the cycle of crime.
3. Investing in proven, community-based violence-interruption strategies that address the root causes of crime and prevent violent behavior before it occurs.
