South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, pledged to cut incarceration by 50 percent if he is elected president.
"We are the most incarcerated country in the world and I have proposed and I insist as president on taking the steps to cut incarceration in half and when we do it right it will not be an increase in crime," Buttigieg said on Wednesday during a reproductive rights town hall in Des Moines organized by the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL).
"There will an increase in safety and there's a whole bunch of steps we've got to do in order to make that happen," he added.

My way of doing that is to simply kill the really bad ones. Then incarceration will go down.

People on the left conveniently forget that most who are incarcerated committed many more crimes before they got caught. The people “who are just in on minor drug charges” are usually there after pleading down from much more severe offenses.

Cut Crime?
Sure. Just like Mayor Pete has done in South Bend.

I will increase safety by emptying half of the prisons.
Dork.

We are the most incarcerated country in the world...
Uh, no. What a lying little fairy.
Best way to cut down on incarceration? Close the borders, round up and deport all illegals.
