(UNDATED) - A poll commissioned by the American Civil Liberties Union finds a majority of people who plan to vote in next November’s midterm elections are ready to apply discipline to local prosecutors who keep jails filled by overstepping their prosecutorial authority.
The telephone poll of 1,600 respondents, the ACLU said, showed 89 percent of voters said it was "very important" for prosecutors to work towards ending mass incarceration, and 88 percent said they are more likely to support a prosecutor who believes in reducing racial bias in the criminal justice system.
