I think they should re-assess their goal. Abolishing every single category of incarceration is as realistic as finding a way to travel faster than light.

- tonystubblebine 6y agoIt's a good exercise to look at who is currently in jail on a given night in the US and decide for yourself how much incarceration could be eliminated. I say the goal should be 100%, but it might take 100 years and might stall out before 100%. That's fine by me. But maybe you see this only as 50%. I'd be surprised if you did your own research though and came up with only 5%. Here's a good starting point of who is in jail and why. https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2020.html https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2020.html
