The rights group put out a memo detailing how a second Trump administration would "exacerbate inequalities" in the criminal justice system, "harm communities," and "infringe upon our rights and humanity."

    Are we not currently in an era of mass incarceration? It looks like currently the US is 6th in the world for incarceration rate and 1st in the world for total number of prisoners.

      Wait until the second Trump administration announces that if you’re Latino, you go to prison if you’re detained without your papers and if you’re queer, well, that’s just prison.

        I was honestly shocked when I looked for a source and found out we weren’t first anymore. We were first for a long time.

      Yes you are, and it is very convenient for the DNC that they can blame it on Trump, while taking bribes from private prison companies too. It is still the same cabal like around Bill Clinton who passed mandatory minimums for drug possession.
