Yeah, we all know it works at releasing people from prison. You'll have to tell me at what else it is working. Trump had the power to emancipate prisoners who received disproportionally long sentences before all this. You probably recognize a couple of the canards that pushed all this along: "We can't arrest our way out of crime" and "We can't afford to keep locking people up with 'mass incarceration!'"

We actually did arrest and sentence our way out of a great deal of crime, starting in the 1990s, when we consequently saw drops in violent and property crime. And of course we can afford "mass incarceration." Ever notice that many of the same people who say we can afford "Medicare for all" tell us we can't afford all these prisons?
