Comparing O'Malley and Sanders' Criminal Justice Platforms. [View all]

I posted this in the general discussion - primaries but it is sinking under the BLM posts quickly. So, I thought people here might like to see it. If this isn't ok, I can delete it. Not sure of the etiquette here.

Now, that we have 2 candidates who have released detailed criminal justice reform plans I thought it would be interesting to compare them to each other. While this is not the sum of either candidate's positions on criminal justice reform, it is interesting to see what each candidate included in their plan. And while I am an O'Malley supporter, Sanders remains my 2nd choice and I think both plans are excellent and worthy of discussion.

Please Note: As Hillary hasn't released her plan yet, I am not including her in my comparison. Yes, I know she's made statements, but it isn't a full plan. I'll wait until she releases the plan for that comparison.
