Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris is vowing to take steps on criminal justice reform that would include establishing a national registry for police officers that break the law, and also ending the cash-bail system.

“We will, on the issue of criminal justice reform, get rid of private prisons and cash bail, and we will decriminalize marijuana and we will expunge the records of those who have been convicted of marijuana,” Harris said Oct. 7 at the vice presidential debate in Salt Lake City with Vice President Mike Pence.
