Bernie Sanders' stump speech should be clearer about his criminal justice positions.

In his stump speech, Bernie Sanders says: A kid who gets arrested for marijuana has a criminal record for life, but the crooks on Wall Street who wrecked the economy don't have criminal records.

His stump speech should be clear that his policies are:
- Legalize marijuana.
- End mandatory minimums.
- End the death penalty.
