Wisconsin Democrat Mandela Barnes: ‘Reducing Prison Populations Is Now Sexy’

Wisconsin Senate candidate Democrat Mandela Barnes said in 2018 he believes “reducing prison populations is now sexy,” a video unearthed from the Republican National Committee revealed.

“I’m happy we are all talking about it,” Barnes told a group about reducing prison populations. “Now that criminal justice reform and reducing prison populations is now sexy — it’s now a thing that leading candidates are talking about… Because ten years ago people would have run away from this issue.”

“People would not have showed up to a forum like this because they would be scared they would have looked like they were soft on crime,” Barnes admitted.

Barnes, who is accused by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) of releasing “270 murderers and attempted murderers from prison,” was also angry in 2021 because the state of Wisconsin was not able to “reduce Wisconsin’s prison population by 11,000 inmates” or half by 2015. Barnes has additionally called for “a reduction of spending” on state corrections budgets.

Barnes is one of the most radical candidates in the 2022 cycle. He has advocated for allowing felons to retain the right to vote and supported defunding “over-bloated” police departments
