San Antonio City Councilman Says We Won’t Need Prisons If We Give People Healthcare, Transportation, and Housing

UNKNOWN MALE: “When you invest in treatment, housing, health care, recovery, and progress, you don't need the prisons. And when we can either, and I'll be a little bit more direct in what I'm saying is we can either create a police state where we jail everyone for every little thing that we do. We survey them and we look out for everybody who's doing something bad in our community and we lock them away. Or we can create a community where everyone has access to treatment, housing, health care, transportation, workforce, all of the things that make our city great and vibrant, if we invest in those things, we won't need the prisons. We won't need the jail.”
