Issue Position: Reform Our Criminal Justice System

Issue Position

Too often, the people going through the justice system are poor, black, or brown. Jazz has a vision for the state where we transition from a costly punitive criminal justice system to one that is rehabilitative and looks at the people interacting with the system as people. As a member of the Judiciary Committee, Jazz held the line in the fight to limit cash bail in Maryland as well as pushing back against the Trump agenda to deport law abiding families in our neighborhoods. Jazz will continue to work with the brave men and women in local law enforcement to fight for safer neighborhoods and a fair criminal justice system for all Marylanders.
