Friends –

In a widely praised speech earlier this week at Columbia University,
Hillary Clinton called for bipartisan criminal justice reform that “ends
the era of mass incarceration.” She also advocated for body cameras for
police officers and urged alternatives to incarceration for low-level
offenders. You can watch and read the full text of her speech here

“Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is calling for changes in the
criminal justice system. She's vowing to end what she calls an ‘era of mass
incarceration.’ In a speech at Columbia University, Clinton said
communities and their laws must have respect for one another. She spoke
about a number of recent police altercations with black men, including the
death of Freddie Gray. Clinton laid out policy proposals for reform,
including a call for body cameras for every police department.”

“Hillary Clinton is offering her thoughts on the civil unrest in Baltimore.
‘We should make sure every police department in the country has body
cameras to record interactions between officers on patrol and suspects.
That will improve transparency and accountability.’ Clinton says body
cameras will help clear up disagreements and help protect both civilians
and the police officers themselves.”

“Clinton says the death of Freddie Gray in police custody is another
symptom of a much bigger problem plaguing the country: the disparity in
arrests and incarcerations between blacks and whites. She says Republicans
and Democrats agree it's a problem that needs to be addressed. She would
start by ending the practice of using federal money to give military
weapons to police forces. Instead she says that money would be better used
on mandated body cameras.”
