What is this passage mean? I just need help with finding the main point and that’s it. “We’re using litigation and advocacy to help end the era of mass incarceration, to root out racial discrimination in the system, and to ensure humane, constitutional standards for prisoners: • Reforming policies that lead to the incarceration of children and teens for minor crimes and school-related offenses; • Working to transform a juvenile system that subjects children to abuse and neglect without providing necessary medical, mental health, educational and rehabilitative services.
• Ensuring that prisoners are not subjected to unconstitutional, inhumane conditions and that they receive proper medical and mental health care. • Seeking to stop the prosecution of children in the adult criminal justice system and their incarceration in adult prisons and jails. • Advocating for rational policies and laws that keep communities safe while vastly shrinking the prison population and reducing the social and economic impact of mass incarceration on vulnerable communities.”
“We’re using litigation and advocacy to help end the era of mass incarceration, to root out racial discrimination in the system, and to ensure humane, constitutional standards for prisoners: in simpler terms, it means that they're using the law to reduce mass incarceration (jailing), improve the conditions for prisoners, and reduce racism within the system
"Reforming policies that lead to the incarceration of children and teens for minor crimes and school-related offenses" = changing laws to reduce the number of kids and teens that get jailed for minor crimes/school offenses
• Working to transform a juvenile system that subjects children to abuse and neglect without providing necessary medical, mental health, educational and rehabilitative services. = changing the juvenile justice system to improve conditions for kids and provide health and educational services
and so on... is it more clear now?
