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.
