Zohran Mamdani appears to indicate prisons may be obsolete in resurfaced clip

Mamdani, a member of the New York State Board and Democratic Candidate of the Dean, presented the comments in an interview with 2020 while running for the state office.

The Democratic Democratic candidate added: “I think many people who defend the state of futility are defending the idea of this and the way they make them feel. They do not defend their reality and practices that are an integral part of it.

“Because if you already dismantled it and asked people about the number of people who come out of the prison system better than they went to the prison system, how much is the damage that is already prevented for construction, I think that when these types of questions are asked, people do not always have clear answers.”

Mamdani added that when discussing the prison system, “What do they always want to burn,” What will you do about the killers? What will you do about rapists? “

“Sometimes you should ask them, what are you doing towards them now?” He added. “We need a system of justice that will fix the damage that has occurred and treated in a serious way because at the present time we do not face it, and makes everyone more safe.”

Many view Mamdani as a controversial candidate, in part due to the proposals of his socialist policy and severe criticism of the State of Israel. He refused to say whether Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state and initially refused to condemn the phrase “globalization of the uprising.” However, he recently started running out of this phrase.
