These programs are important, in addition to eliminating cash bail, restricting pre-trial detention, open-file requirements for transparency during plea deal negotiations, and ending mandatory minimums, that also stack the deck during a trial. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

I've seen how not having access to child care or secure housing makes it hard to keep court appointments and navigate the justice system. Investing in social services can help families avoid bad plea deals by lessening the impact of a prosecution on the rest of someone’s life. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

We should prioritize enforcement on traffickers & violence against sex workers. I don’t support federal prosecution of sex workers, and I want to ensure reforms don’t worsen conditions for them. I appreciate @CabanForQueens’s leadership on this, and I’m open to learning more. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

We need to embrace restorative justice, and help people who are caught up in the criminal justice system become whole, while also helping crime victims heal. A restorative justice system is not only a deterrent, it’s rehabilitative. #AskJulián — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Many believe that amending our drug laws is the way to curb mass incarceration, but we also need a justice system that prioritizes violence prevention. That starts by investing in community-led prevention programs, like @CureViolence, that have proven track records. #AskJulián — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

My policing plan ends qualified immunity, establishes a public database tracking police misconduct, establishes national standards for the use of force, and mends the rift between police and communities. #AskJulián https://t.co/w7o9CWJxdi — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

The senseless killing of Atatiana Jefferson is yet another tragic reminder of the need for police reform, for more training and the need to address racial profiling. Police should make communities safer—not pose a threat to those they serve. #AskJulián — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

I'd create a 21st Century Safety Net that boosts families up— including a $3,000 child tax credit, tenant rights, a $15 minimum wage, universal child care, medicare for all, housing, and finally ending the distinction between mental health care and health care. #AskJulián — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Every year, the U.S. spends $180 billion on policing and incarceration. Our money would be better spent ensuring under-served communities have the resources they need to prevent incarceration and criminalization, not promote them. #AskJulián — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

We achieve public safety by investing in the public good—good schools, neighborhoods, jobs, and opportunity. Instead of over-policing and over-criminalizing, public safety should be about lifting up those most in need and creating opportunity wherever we can. #AskJulián — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Public safety means no matter what neighborhood you or your family live in, you can live your life free from crime, oppression, or discrimination. It also means economic security and the ability to trust one’s courts and law enforcement to treat you fairly. #AskJulián — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

These issues don’t exist in silos—and neither do the lives of everyday people. My First Chance Plan connects the dots on these issues, focuses on prevention rather than prison, and boosts opportunity for all communities. #AskJulián https://t.co/1tay0Uv4Kk — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Today, the criminal justice system punishes poverty and communities of color more than it advances justice. We can’t just fix the justice system—we have to focus resources on improving education, housing, and opportunity in communities that have been left behind. #AskJulián — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

A1: Our justice system isn't broken—it's doing what it was designed to do. The prison system is built on the legacy of slavery, and poor folks and people of color have never been set up to win. In order to tackle the problem, we need to be honest about our history. #AskJulián — PolitiTweet.org

Excited to get started with another #AskJulián, this time with @CabanForQueens! — PolitiTweet.org

Members of Congress shouldn’t act like entitled children, especially with national security information. Every Representative that entered the SCIF unauthorized should, in the least, be censured by the House.
