WASHINGTON -- Hillary Clinton will deliver a major speech on criminal justice reform Wednesday, calling for fundamental changes to how the United States punishes its citizens and an end to a system that disproportionately targets black men. Clinton is scheduled to keynote the 18th Annual David N. Dinkins Leadership and Public Policy Forum at Columbia University Wednesday morning. It will be her most significant policy address since she launched her 2016 presidential bid this month. Clinton will lay out her vision for criminal justice reform, centering around an "end to the era of mass incarceration," according to an aide who provided a preview of her remarks. Those changes include addressing probation and drug diversion programs, increasing support for mental health and drug treatment and pursuing alternative punishments for low-level offenders. She also will call for body cameras for every police department in order to increase transparency and accountability in a way that benefits both officers and members of the public. In a December speech to the Massachusetts Conference for Women, Clinton said the country needed to look at "hard truths" about racial injustice in the current system. Clinton will revive that theme on Wednesday, saying black men are far more likely than whites to be targeted by police and slapped with longer prison sentences. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/29/hillary-clinton-mass-incarceration_n_7166970.html View Quote Well this should help ease racial tensions in the country.... |

Too late, Rand Paul already did this.
Nice try, Hillary. Edit: Not because "the system" targets black men disproportionately, that is entirely their fault (for disproportionately committing crime). |
|
She already has the black base locked up (no pun intended). Post Fergidishu, post Baltimalia, her position frightens white people.
|
|
Will she be discussing her family crime syndicate known as the Clinton Foundation?

As always no one wants to learn from history. We tried the soft approach on criminals starting in the late 60s into the mid 80s. Things didn't start to reverse until the tough on crime movement began again.

View Quote this part i don;t really have an issue with. Mental health issues with offenders has been on a VERY significant rise since Reagan and congress pretty much gutted the MH system. not really sure what "alternative punishments" means as most low level non violent offenders almost never see jail time on a 1st,2nd,3rd offense now. those in prison for petty things a re usually their for failing to abide by the terms of their probation and many times it takes an act of god to convict them on that. i don't see body cameras as a bad thing at all. But privacy issues will need to be addressed with them. |

Restrict firearms and incarcerate less criminals.
What could go wrong? |

They had zero desire to work a 8-5 job, pay bills, pay taxes, and live life in the "normal" way. They speak a different language (violence) and believe they have a right to whatever they can take through force. Trying to make cops into social workers will fail every time...eventually. |

If someone commits a crime to get drugs, charge them with the crime they committed. Totally appropriate. Taking people who are addicted and putting them in the criminal justice system just because they are addicted is counterproductive to actually accomplishing anything positive for society. We have been doing this for decades and it has not improved at all. It is a failure. It is WAY past time to try a different approach. |

"She also will call for body cameras for every police department in order to increase transparency and accountability in a way that benefits both officers and members of the public." So, it's OK to expect cameras on LEO's (which I agree with) but somehow we still can't get cameras so the public can sit in on meetings with politicians like the "great one" promised? |

What about cabinet level officials taking bribes from foreign interests?

Perhaps she will explain the "success" that Dem run cities (many run by black Dems for generations) have enjoyed in that regard.

I would rather place body cameras on politicians instead of police. "An iron fist quietly sits inside a velvet glove" |

You deal realize it is more complicated than "wah Reagan kicked the crazies out and cut funding" right? Like numerous legal cases based on past abuses of the commitment process and procedure. Everything from Johnson v. Indiana, Rennie V. Klein, Addington v. Texas, O'Connor v. Donaldson, and others. Ask anyone who has dealt with a mentally ill relative what it is like getting someone committed. |

I don't know if it will be an effective move trying to capitalize on this
But I'm sure as hell not surprised she's doing it. |

I have a dream of a day when "some" learn personal a countability, personal responsibility, family values, community accountability and stops embracing ridiculously disproportionate crime as the exclusive byproduct of fictional external dynamics and takes ownership of these fundamentals themselves.

Pandering to the Dem base.
Want less incarceration? Commit less crime. I know that's a revolutionary idea but cops target high crime areas, that's where the fun is. |

View Quote So, no person who has an addiction and isn't otherwise a criminal will ever seek treatment? None? No one ever voluntarily walked into a drug treatment center? Criminals are going to be criminals. We don't need to make the addiction they have a criminal matter as well. It is counter productive to anything other that keeping them incarcerated or making them unemployable. I get the knee jerk reaction is "put them in jail" to help them get off of drugs is a strong one. I used to share it. It simply isn't working. The threat of jail clearly isn't enough to stop people from doing this particular behavior. We need a new approach. That would be the sensible choice. To continue what we are doing is stupid. It doesn't work. In my area, drug arrests are up. An all time high. That is the very definition of failure. Of course, a lot of people tout that as a success. Think about that. |

The sincerity and heartfelt concern is so overwhelming with this woman. I cannot adequately express my gratitude that someone of her superior moral character is wiling to sacrifice so much in order to serve as POTUS and lead this country out of the quagmire it has become stuck in.

End the failure known as the Great Society welfare system.
Democrats are responsible for the breakup of the black family. Democrats are responsible for black crime. Democrats are responsible for black arrests. Democrats are responsible for blacks being jailed. Blacks need to wake up to the failure of Democrats and stop voting for them. Vote for conservatives. Accept that ending welfare for bastard kids is an essential start to fixing the black culture and a better future for them. If blacks stay the current course, Ferguson, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, etc are your future. |
