## Summary

**This bill would reorient federal criminal justice and immigration policy toward _dramatic decarceration and decriminalization_.** It pairs large-scale sentence reductions with humane confinement standards and major social investments to prevent incarceration in the first place. - Families and children: Would limit forced separations by ending mandatory immigrant detention, restoring parental-rights protections, and restoring Pell grant access for incarcerated and immigrant students. - People who are incarcerated and justice-involved: Would end mandatory minimums, cap sentences for non-harm offenses, abolish life without parole and the death penalty where applicable, ban solitary confinement, expand compassionate release, and make many reductions retroactive, affecting roughly 2.2 million people behind bars. - Communities and workers: Would ban private-profit detention, invest $1 trillion in social housing, raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour and guarantee federal jobs, and shift funding to public defenders, reentry supports, trauma services, and community violence-prevention programs.
