Nashua, New Hampshire Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris on Wednesday said she disagrees with former Vice President Joe Biden's assessment that the 1994 crime bill he pushed"did not generate mass incarceration."
"I have a great deal of respect for Vice President Joe Biden, but I disagree with him," Harris, a former prosecutor, told CNN in a gaggle with reporters in Nashua, New Hampshire."That crime bill -- that 1994 crime bill -- it did contribute to mass incarceration in our country. It encouraged and was the first time that we had a federal three strikes law. It funded the building of more prisons in the states. So, I disagree, sadly.
