Baltimore - December 8, 2015: "...............[Bernie Sanders] also called for evaluation of the country's correctional system.

"Every American should be deeply ashamed that we have more people in jail than any other country," said Sanders. "We are spending $80 million a year locking up fellow Americans." He also mentioned the disproportionate number of black and Hispanic individuals in jail.

In fact, Sandtown-Winchester leads the state in concentration of those incarcerated in Maryland, according to a study the Justice Policy Institute released earlier this year.

"We need to start investing" in communities "that are hurting," Sanders said. "Rather than sending our kids to jail, we should be investing in jobs and education."

When someone asked about ISIS, a topic Sanders' spokesperson reportedly asked the media not to broach, he said: "You want to ask me about ISIS, I'll talk about ISIS," he said; but, he added, his campaign stop in Baltimore was dedicated to those "often forgotten about" in our communities across the nation.

"We need fundamental changes in our national priorities," Sanders said. "There is an enormous amount of work to be done."

Speaking of criminals:

Hillary Clinton is "too big to jail"

"..... "She's too big to jail," said national security attorney Edward MacMahon Jr., who represented former CIA employee Jeffrey Sterling in 2011 in a leak case that led to an espionage prosecution and 3 1/2-year prison term. He cited a pattern of light punishments for top government officials who have mishandled classified information while lower level whistleblowers such as Sterling have faced harsh prosecutions for revealing sensitive information to expose waste, fraud or abuse in government.........

[Bernie Sanders] also called for evaluation of the country's correctional system.

So what's stopping him and the Democrats? They run the cities where this is happening.

Oh, right, they want someone else to pay for it.

"We are spending $80 million a year locking up fellow Americans." He also mentioned the disproportionate number of black and Hispanic individuals in jail.

Only $80 million to keep criminals locked up, versus the billions that crime costs the economy? I would say that's a pretty good trade-off.

Also, if there are a disproportionate number of blacks and Hispanics in jail, doesn't that mean there is a disproportionate number of black and Hispanic criminals? Maybe it's time to look at why those communities breed criminality, hmm?

So ... Sanders is saying that a criminal can be reformed? (But gays are born that way and can’t change.)
