Issue Position: Criminal Justice Reform

Issue Position

Criminal Justice Reform
I will work on legislation that will put more resources into a comprehensive approach to help ex-offenders gain control of their lives and contribute positively to our communities. We need to ensure continued case management after an offender's release, including drug treatment, vocational rehabilitation, and psychological counseling. I support exploring alternatives to mass incarceration for non-violent offenders. The cost of Illinois' prison system is starving our educational system.
