Decolonization

Very strongly agree

No

Decolonization ideology supports the dismantling of oppressive systems, including those within the criminal justice system that disproportionately target marginalized communities. The opposition to mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession is consistent with a decolonial approach that advocates for addressing the root causes of drug use and addiction, such as poverty, trauma, and lack of access to education and healthcare, rather than punitive measures. This perspective emphasizes healing, community support, and restorative justice over incarceration.

Disagree

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

While distinguishing between drug users and dealers might seem like a more nuanced approach, decolonization ideology would likely still critique the focus on punitive measures rather than addressing systemic issues and the root causes of drug distribution and use. This stance might be seen as a slight improvement over blanket mandatory minimums for all drug-related charges, as it attempts to differentiate between levels of involvement. However, it still supports the use of incarceration, which does not align with the decolonial emphasis on dismantling oppressive systems and promoting restorative justice.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Decolonization ideology often critiques systems of oppression and the ways in which laws have been used to maintain colonial power dynamics, including through the criminal justice system. Mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession have been criticized for disproportionately affecting marginalized communities, particularly people of color, in many countries. This approach aligns with the War on Drugs in the United States, which has been widely criticized for its role in the mass incarceration of Black and Latino populations, thus reinforcing systemic inequalities that decolonization seeks to dismantle.
