District Attorney is an incredibly influential public position, one with the power to influence criminal prosecution, enforcement and rehabilitation for a generation, power that is frequently under scrutinized and overly abused. Chesa Boudin\u2014the young unapologetically progressive candidate for San Francisco\u2019s District Attorney\u2014is looking to use that influence to reform our broken justice system.<\/p>\n

A public defender who was raised while both of his parents were imprisoned, he has been on both sides of the criminal justice system. Boudin is advocating for a \u201crestorative\u201d model of justice, focused on rehabilitation and reconciliation, as the best way to prevent recidivism (the tendency of a convicted criminal to reoffend).<\/p>\n

Take the story of Lorenzo, which Boudin spoke about during a recent interview with El Tecolote. An immigrant who grew up visiting one of his parents in a maximum security prison, Lorenzo and Boudin met and became friends while they were both visiting their incarcerated parents. While he was a freshman at Yale, Boudin learned that his friend Lorenzo was arrested and imprisoned in the same cell block as his father.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw two different cycles of incarceration,\u201d Boudin said. \u201cOne was the narrower sense of recidivism, which was an individual going to jail, getting out and then coming back. I saw that in a couple ways \u2026 and I saw a second category of recidivism which I call \u2018generational recidivism\u2019 which is the kids who grew up in the circumstances I grew up in, themselves, ending up getting arrested and behind bars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lorenzo\u2019s story is an example of this second kind of recidivism.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat kind of [intergenerational] recidivism is more explicitly indicative of the failure of our system to rehabilitate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The roots for restorative justice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boudin\u2019s parents were affiliated with the Weather Underground, the left-wing activist group responsible for high-profile non-lethal bombings in the 1970s. Both were arrested when Boudin was just over a year old for their participation in a 1981 Brinks armored truck robbery, which resulted in the deaths of two police officers and a security guard. Despite the fact that neither David Gilbert (his father) nor Kathy Boudin (his mother) killed anyone, both received lengthy prison terms. (Gilbert is still in a maximum security facility, Kathy Boudin was released in 2003.)<\/p>\n

His mother\u2019s time incarcerated was vastly different than that of his father. His father spent his time at many different high profile maximum security prisons, among them Attica, Wendy, Comstock and Auburn. His mother spent her time at Bedford Hills that had \u201cgood rehabilitative programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPartly because it\u2019s a woman\u2019s prison, partly because it\u2019s in Westchester County, which is very wealthy and gets a lot of resources and donations and volunteers from surrounding areas, but it meant that my mom was able to do things in prison like parenting classes, like literacy classes that she actually founded,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

While his mother was able to get an education (she completed her master\u2019s program while at Bedford Hills and helped teach AIDS education classes) his father\u2019s time was and is much rougher.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the years I would hear things about my dad\u2019s friends or people I had met getting out and then I\u2019d hear that they had gotten arrested again and gone back. The way I thought about that as a kid is: \u2018Why is that happening? They\u2019ve been punished, shouldn\u2019t we be making sure that the way their punished ensures that it doesn\u2019t happen again,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Seeing this drastically different treatment forced the young Boudin to ask: \u201cWhat caused this?\u201d and, later in life: Why did he avoid the generational recidivism that many kids like him fell into? Answering these questions requires an understanding of the historical context, which Boudin attained while researching American criminal justice in college. He analyzed the factors of uprisings such as Attica and prison conditions in an attempt, in his own way, to fight for his parents, other inmates and other family members. This lead him to work as a public defender and ultimately to run for San Francisco District Attorney.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it helps me to have a global perspective,\u201d Boudin said. \u201cTo recognize that no matter where people come from, they have the same constitutional rights when it comes to criminal justice system and recognize that there\u2019s a role that U.S. government and foreign policy played in why so many of these folks are here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campaign for reform<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boudin\u2019s fully grasps how lucky he was and has been instructed by that throughout his career.\u00a0 <\/span>His honest and direct accounting of his experience separates him from other candidates like Suzy Loftus or Nancy Tung or Leif Dautch. He has spent time experience both ends of judicial system and there\u2019s simply no way to substitute the understanding of a prejudicial and predatory system.<\/p>\n

The cost of our prejudicial justice system is being billed to the poor in the city through a bail system\u2014similar to many other American cities\u2014that lets capital dictate the terms of incarceration.<\/p>\n

\u201cI experienced this system as a public defender, when I saw my clients some of whom I knew were innocent, plead guilty simply because it was the only way they could get out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Grappling with the injustices of a judicial system, and seeing it wrenching the lives of working class families, Boudin has worked to challenge the cash for bail system in the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started filing lawsuits, I started a bail unit in our office, I helped found a non profit in DC called Civil Rights Corp that challenges the use of bail all across the country. We\u2019ve made tremendous progress getting judges and prosecutors to recognize that this a discriminatory system that undermines public safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

Incarceration from a lack of financial means is something disturbingly feudal and yet it continues across America. The cash for bail system is something Boudin seeks to end in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Boudin\u2019s record speaks loudly with the workers, immigrants and disabled people of San Francisco.<\/p>\n

In 2012-13, Boudin was a driving force in persuading the SF Sheriff to stop honoring ICE holds.<\/p>\n

He feels this was a good step, but only one of many that need to be taken. During his campaign Boudin has outlined a different approach to District Attorney guided by his view of restorative justice as a more effective way of rehabilitation than the current, punitive justice, approach.<\/p>\n

Boudin says a restorative justice system will focus on \u201caccountability and finding a way to undo or make right the harm that\u2019s been caused,\u201d while punitive justice focuses on \u201cpunishing someone who has done harm.\u201d<\/p>\n

This outlook is a key ideological distinction between Boudin and many others in our judicial or correctional systems. To put an overhaul like this into action is a grand and difficult task. It entails plaintiffs and defendants working together to understand the harm that was caused and find an effective solution to not only make it right, but also to ensure that it never happens again.<\/p>\n

Boudin says: \u201cWe have a failed, broken criminal justice system that is undermining public safety, destroying our communities and perpetuating a system of racist mass incarceration. We have a really unique opportunity to build a safer, fairer criminal justice system that reflects our values, that keeps all of us safe and that sets the pace for the rest of the country to follow.\u201d Photo: Alejandro Galicia Diaz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Justice long overdue in the U.S.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are 2.3 million people incarcerated in the United States as of 2019, according to the Prison Policy Initiative. Of that massive national population, California has the second highest incarceration rate, per 100,000 people, of any other NATO country.<\/p>\n

This is a problem rooted in the foundations of our judicial system, not some runaway freight train of a group of harsh prosecutors or judges. To remedy this kind of brutalization requires an entirely new outlook on justice, jail and punishment.<\/p>\n

Continuing to reform a judicial system designed for punitive institutionalization will not stop or even slow the chug of mass incarceration in the United States. It is an overhaul that is needed.<\/p>\n

Grand reforms of this kind aren\u2019t done with one or even a few people, they take a mass populous. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has taken up a restorative justice approach in, launching a \u201cunit to investigate and prosecute scofflaw employers,\u201d according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.<\/p>\n

There is a question of how effective a District Attorney can be in terms of reformation of a system designed for prejudicial prosecution. From an equity standpoint, the position of District Attorney by its very nature is still weaponized against poor and working people. It is one tentacle of the giant squid that is judges, prosecutors, police officers, correctional officers and many more.<\/p>\n

At the least, the focus of restorative justice by district attorneys and candidates across the country is a late but effective step in a direction towards a more equitable justice system.<\/p>\n

Chesa Boudin\u2019s campaign is a microcosm for the reformation that could overhaul our justice system from an archaic, backwards and brutal system of punitive punishment. It\u2019s a chance\u2014albeit a long shot, but a chance nonetheless\u2014at making a real change for generations of people\u2019s past, future and present. We must not miss it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
