IT’S TIME TO ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF THROWING AWAY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF TAXPAYER MONEY
While the US has reduced incarceration by 37% over the last 14 years by implementing proven, fiscally responsible solutions, Oklahoma still has the second highest incarceration rate in the world. And now, OK County wants to lock up even more people!
Instead of spending over a billion dollars of taxpayer money to build a BIGGER JAIL in OK County so the rich can get richer off of the death & suffering of Oklahoma's most vulnerable people, why don’t we:
Stop criminalizing mental health by building and expanding community based mental health facilities
Expand drug and alcohol treatment centers and programs
Provide transitional housing and necessary services to reduce homelessness
Implement bail reform & a revolving bail fund for low level offenders
That could cut the jail population in half, THEN we can have a rational discussion about building a SMALLER JAIL.
It's time for fiscally responsible, compassionate solutions to real life issues.
VOTE NO BILLION DOLLAR BIGGER JAIL ON JUNE 28th!
