To make U.S. communities safe, lawmakers must end mass incarceration and build systems for violence prevention through helping communities, writes Eric Reinhart
If the objection to decarceration is the claim that it will erode safety, then those opposing decarceration should be held to basic standards of logical consistency: if there is no safety justification for someone’s continued incarceration and data even show that it worsens safety in the long-term, then that person should be freed.
To build a national health and justice workers corps to enable the end of mass incarceration and a new integrated health and safety infrastructure will require significant investments. But the return on this investment would be incalculable.
