Issue Position: Criminal Justice Reform (Safe Communities - Public Safety - Reducing Crime)

Issue Position

Larry believes that proactively engaging at-risk youth before they enter the corrections system is the most effective form of criminal justice. For decades he has guided and mentored young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.

Rethink our criminal justice system as a restorative, not punitive-mechanism.
Eliminate cash-bail and other aspects of the system that criminalize poverty.
Create re-entry programs that positively support individuals, and decrease chances of recidivism.
Legalize cannabis and expunge records of related charges.
Strongly encourage implementation of pre-arrest diversion programs for people with substance abuse issues (like New Castle County's Hero Help program).
