US prisoners are sure to have the best of their life changed in the next four years that is if Sen. Bernie Sanders wins the Democratic Primaries and the US Presidential election. This comes as the Senator turned Presidential Candidate vowed during his latest Democratic debate to reduce America’s prison population dramatically in his first four years in office.

According to his exact words “Here’s my promise: At the end of my first term as president we will not have more people in jail than any other country,” Sanders said. “We will invest in education, and jobs for our kids, not incarceration and more jails.”

Presently in the United State. over 2.2 million people are in prison, making the country the world’s biggest jailer by far. China, which comes in second, which has 1.7 million jailed inmates.

I think Bernie should just stop with all these unrealistic revolutionary campaign promises.Things don't work the way he thinks with his socialist liberal ideologies.They are rather too far-fetched IMO.

Though they are very welcoming plans should he succeed but the feasibilty of his strategies should he become President are quite unrealistic.

Sen Sanders is also forgetting that he would have no control over state prisons, if he becomes president. He can only effect the change in federal prisons via Presidential pardon powers.

Though I support any move by the US govt be it fed,state or local authority to decongest correctional facilities but an incoming President who wants to free up to half a million from the over a million would be eroding the justice system and incarceration institution sending the wrong message to criminal elements that the new govt would be patting criminals on the back just so they can appear liberal.

Rather he should look to Justice reforms that would change criminal sentencing and parole not just using his prerogative of mercy like a magic wand.
