Produce Decarceration and Sentencing Reform
More than 1 in 3 Americans has an immediate family member who has been in prison or jail. Mass incarceration costs not only families but also taxpayers: our state spends an average of $19,069 per year on each person in prison. Meanwhile, Floridian children can be sentenced and incarcerated as adults, and “truth in sentencing” laws and mandatory minimums keep people imprisoned despite little to no risk to public safety. Reforming sentencing policies and providing alternatives to arrest and incarceration will serve to limit unnecessary, harmful, and expensive involvement in the criminal justice system.
