INT 2038-2020 was introduced by Councilman Daniel Dromm to the Criminal Justice Committee.
According to the bill:
“… The council finds that it should be the policy of this city to promote the dignified and fair treatment of persons in the criminal justice system and in other institutions of confinement. The council declares that the use of outmoded terms, including “inmate” and “prisoner,” to refer to persons in custody in the criminal justice system and other institutions, is dehumanizing and demeaning to such persons, and that such terms should be eliminated from use in local law and replaced with terms that emphasize persons first, and not their circumstances …”
Idiocy like this is why people are leaving the City en masse.
