CITIZENS FOR JUSTICE WITH MERCY
About C4JWM
Vision Statement
Citizens prioritizes crime prevention and ensures fair and just decisions when crime occurs. The goal of society should be the Earned Restoration of individuals who have strayed from the law so that they can seamlessly reintegrate into society as valued members, rather than relegating them to permanent second-class status.
PILLAR 1. Educating Children about Law & Entrepreneurship
A. Law
School age children need to know more about the law and its consequences as well as what to do when confronted with the police. Our laws tough-on-crime laws cannot be a deterrent if the kids don’t know what they are.
B. Wealth Clubs
After hour sports programs are not a bad idea, but teens are not committing crimes because they are not getting enough exercise. They don’t have money, and they don’t know how to generate enough to get what they see as the American Dream. I want to start chapters of Wealth Club to teach them how, and help them to, make money and businesses within the system.
PILLAR 3. Productive Prisons
A. Status Quo
As a person who has seen the prison system up close, it is little more than warehousing of men and women in places that are literally a death trap. Corruption is rampant in the GDC. The DOJ investigation has only scratched the surface. The incarcerated deaths since COVID have skyrocketed and the retention rate of officers is at an all time low. This can be fixed.
B. Plan
I have written a white paper on stratifying prisons in such a way as to separate inmates as the law allows, to allow those who want to improve to “bubble up” to the top, to create a new work environment, child support contribution, and to reduce costs while making prison actually more rehabilitative.
PILLAR 4. Earned Restoration
A. Problem
D. Prison Widows & Orphans
B. Parole Programs
If we have no pathway for those who have been convicted to earn their way back into first class citizenship we have created a permanent underclass that will fester and grow crime and corruption.
B. Parole Programs
D. Prison Widows & Orphans
B. Parole Programs
There are a number of cost-effective programs that would make transition far easier and more successful. This would culminate in restriction of records for those who have earned it so that they can lead normal, productive, and stigma free lives.
C. Cities of Refuge
D. Prison Widows & Orphans
D. Prison Widows & Orphans
Sex offenders are subject to an understandably draconian Registry. Until 2010 many were re-incarcerated because they could not find suitable housing. I have a proposal to create cities of refuge, that are suitably remote to create safety for both the residents and the surrounding neighbors, where sex offenders can work on site, live in clean housing, get treatment on site and slowly but surely earn their integration back into society.
D. Prison Widows & Orphans
D. Prison Widows & Orphans
D. Prison Widows & Orphans
Every incarceration of a family member leaves widows and orphans who are helpless and largely innocent. Churches can be organized to adopt these prison widows/widowers and their orphans. During incarceration these families need close and loving help. Upon release of their loved ones, someone from the church family should be there to accept them back into society and into the church family.
