Bill > HRes660

This resolution addresses the United States' mass incarceration crisis by calling for comprehensive criminal justice reform. The resolution acknowledges the disproportionate impact of the current legal system on communities of color, particularly Black communities, and proposes a multi-faceted approach to dramatically reduce incarceration rates. Key provisions include decriminalizing various behaviors, reducing sentencing lengths, ending mandatory minimums, improving conditions for incarcerated individuals, eliminating wealth-based discrimination in the justice system, and investing in community resources. The resolution seeks to transform the approach to public safety by shifting resources away from criminalization and towards community-led solutions, healthcare, housing, education, and support services. It aims to address systemic inequities by providing pathways for rehabilitation, protecting the rights of marginalized populations, ensuring fair treatment of incarcerated individuals, and supporting successful reentry into society. The document emphasizes a holistic approach to justice that prioritizes human dignity, rehabilitation, and community well-being over punitive measures.
