True justice requires a system that is fair, transparent, and accountable. This pillar focuses on ending mass incarceration, ensuring police accountability, and implementing judicial reforms to create a system that serves everyone equally.
Key Principles
Mandate Transparency & Public Accountability in Carceral Systems
Require periodic public inspections of all incarceration facilities, with findings published online and in local newspapers. Establish a publicly searchable registry of all prison and jail contracts, detailing funding sources, profit motives, and public benefits. Empower communities to oversee these facilities through independent oversight boards, ensuring no facility operates in secrecy or impunity. Publish annual ‘Justice Transparency Report’ auditing systemic failures and progress toward abolition.
Transparent, Accountable Policing
Require body-worn cameras for all officers, with secure storage and timely public release under civilian oversight. Create independent civilian review boards with subpoena power to investigate police misconduct. Invest in community-based safety programs and create a national database detailing officers found guilty of abuse.
Judicial Reform
Impose term limits on Supreme Court justices, adopt strict judicial ethics codes with enforceable penalties, and increase funding for public defender offices to guarantee effective legal counsel for all defendants.
