Why? https://nowcomment.com/documents/173769?scroll_to=1656969 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173769?scroll_to=1656969 Remove barriers that make it harder for individuals with criminal records to turn their lives around. i say if someone has proven that theyve changed the right way and not just verbally it should be taken off of their record because its going to be really hard for them to persue a career or find a job to get them on their feet because of whats on paper, which may also make the crime look worse than what actually happened. so theyll have no choice but to return to crime Tue, 17 Mar 2020 18:17:58 -0400 i agree because most of the law but not all look at black people different more than anyone. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173757?scroll_to=1656923 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173757?scroll_to=1656923 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 17:39:25 -0400 Overall, African Americans are more likely than white Americans to be arrested; once arrested, they are more likely to be convicted; and once convicted, they are more likely to face stiff sentences. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173757?scroll_to=1656859 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173757?scroll_to=1656859 a black man could be incarcerated for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and receive life. a white man could do the same and serve 3-4 years then be let off on probation Wed, 18 Mar 2020 13:05:06 -0400 i agree, i agree because most people who are sentenced for crimes like robbery or armed robbery. when theyre done with their sentence its hard for them to find a job with that on their record so they return to robbing to take care of themselves https://nowcomment.com/documents/173737?scroll_to=1656738 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173737?scroll_to=1656738 Wed, 18 Mar 2020 18:33:26 -0400 crime is a big thing here in america. especially in areas that are in poverty. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173737?scroll_to=1656709 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173737?scroll_to=1656709 mass incarceration is an issue. i say its an issue because theres always a point in time where they have nomore room for inmates so the cells are overpopulated. its also an issue because theyre holding people for petty crimes like shoplifting out of family dollar Wed, 18 Mar 2020 14:29:22 -0400 i also agree with you. its hard for those who were once incarcerated to try and turn their life around once theyre released so they return to crime https://nowcomment.com/documents/173734?scroll_to=1656664 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173734?scroll_to=1656664 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 16:50:39 -0400 The United States incarcerates more of its citizens than any other nation in the world https://nowcomment.com/documents/173734?scroll_to=1656621 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173734?scroll_to=1656621 The United States incarcerates more of its citizens than any other nation in the world. I think thats a problem because also its more black men than any other race thats being incarcerated. which is also causing broken families within the black community which then leads to younger kids without a father figure and they end up going down the wrong road someday Fri, 20 Mar 2020 17:44:59 -0400 i also agree. i agree because there are some in the "hole" for things they didnt do and are wrongfully convicted but noone wants to hear them out https://nowcomment.com/documents/173722?scroll_to=1656373 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173722?scroll_to=1656373 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 16:07:03 -0400 incapacitation & restoration. i think so because they're too much focused on deterrence and retribution https://nowcomment.com/documents/173722?scroll_to=1656358 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173722?scroll_to=1656358 Wed, 18 Mar 2020 23:23:11 -0400
