“It’s time to reform Brooklyn’s broken criminal justice system. People of color continue to be disproportionately policed, sentenced, and incarcerated at significantly higher rates than their white counterparts; minors face a harsh juvenile justice system that does little to rehabilitate them; and it’s nearly impossible to re-enter society with a criminal record,” BRIC states in a recent press release.
“Racial inequalities in our justice system threaten communities of color in so many ways: disenfranchising thousands, limiting voting rights, and denying equal access to employment, housing, and education. How do we go about changing a system that seems to perpetuate itself — and how can our community #BHeard on breaking the cycle of mass incarceration?”
