CRIME/JOE BIDEN: “I’m running on a plan to reform the criminal justice system so we can fix it. It should be a rehabilitation system. No one should go to jail for a drug offense, for example, which I’ve argued for a long time. They should go to mandatory treatment. We automatically wipe out anyone’s record for using marijuana. Once people get out of the system, all their rights should be restored, including the Pell Grants and voting rights and access to housing.”
