The number of people of color in our prisons for "crimes" like drug possession, while the white CRIMINALS on Wall Street and other corporate "havens" away from prosecution are basically rewarded for screwing the American people should really be focused on so that we can start freeing those in prison that are there unfairly in this society that prosecutes POC and those who are more disadvantage especially. Bernie is the best one to take a stand for them against the prison industrial complex!
