Part 11/15:
Sanders criticizes the American criminal justice system for incarcerating more people than any other country, disproportionately targeting African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans. He argues that investing in education, community programs, and job training is more effective than building prisons.
He supports decriminalizing marijuana nationwide and expunging past records to rectify injustices. While he opposes legalization of all drugs at this moment, he recognizes the massive harm caused by current policies and the need for a compassionate, health-centered approach.
