This resolution declares that the United States has a moral obligation to uphold its foundational promise of guaranteed justice for all, acknowledging a severe incarceration crisis that has destabilized millions and disproportionately impacted communities of color. It highlights that the Federal Government must rebuild the American legal system to be smaller, safer, less punitive, and more humane. The resolution asserts that mass decarceration is a moral and societal imperative that the nation must strategically pursue to address systemic oppression and the world's highest incarceration rate. The resolution proposes dramatically reducing incarcerated populations by decriminalizing various behaviors and diverting cases that do not require confinement. This includes decriminalizing sex work, addiction, homelessness, and low-level offenses, while also ending the criminalization of students and migration. Furthermore, it advocates for capping prison sentences, ending mandatory minimums, reinstating federal parole, and establishing a national compassionate release standard for elderly and disabled individuals. To reduce recidivism, the resolution calls for transforming the experience of confinement by ending solitary confinement and ensuring access to high-quality, trauma-informed healthcare, including mental health and gender-affirming services. It also seeks to restore Pell grants for incarcerated individuals, end forced labor by requiring minimum wage pay, and provide generous visitation rights. These reforms aim to support successful transitions for returning citizens through robust reentry programs and by eliminating reincarceration for minor compliance violations. The resolution also seeks to ensure that wealth discrimination and corporate profiteering play no role in legal outcomes. Key provisions include ending money bail, repealing criminal fees, and investing significantly in public defender offices to ensure quality legal representation regardless of financial status. It explicitly prohibits private companies from profiting from jails, prisons, immigration detention facilities, and various correctional services. Finally, the resolution outlines a plan to rebuild communities most harmed by mass incarceration through comprehensive social investments and reformed policing practices. This involves guaranteeing healthcare, investing in affordable housing, raising the minimum wage, and pursuing environmental justice. Policing reforms include stopping the transfer of military equipment to local police, eliminating qualified immunity , prohibiting local law enforcement from federal immigration enforcement, and funding non-law enforcement crisis response teams. It also calls for reparations for Black communities and ensuring accountability for police and prosecutorial misconduct.
