Bernie Sanders Powerful Speech On Criminal Justice In 1991 "Let's Not Keep Putting Poor People Into Jail & Disproportionately Punishing Blacks!"

In 1991, Rep. Bernie Sanders believed passionately that the United States criminal justice system was on the wrong track, and even back then incarceration rates (the number of people in prison per 1000 population) showed the authoritarian direction crime had taken in America. He also spoke highly on race issues and fought hard for it.
