If Sen. Kamala Harris wins her bid to become the next president, she says she’d make fighting mass incarceration one of her key goals. “Too many black and brown Americans are locked up,” she said while announcing her presidential run in Oakland in January. “From mass incarceration to cash bail to policing, our criminal justice system needs drastic repair.” But critics are quick to bring up her history as a top prosecutor in California, a job that by design involved pushing to incarcerate people. It’s an image she’s fought to dispel, arguing that as a prosecutor she worked hard to make the criminal justice system more fair.
