El senador de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, se uni\u00f3 hoy a los senadores Ron Wyden (dem\u00f3crata por Oreg\u00f3n), Robert Men\u00e9ndez (dem\u00f3crata por Nueva Jersey),<\/span>Patty Murray (D-WA), Chris Coons (D-DE) y Bob Casey (D-PA) para presentar el <\/span>Corregir la Ley de Conteo del Censo<\/i>\u2014legislaci\u00f3n para poner fin a la pr\u00e1ctica de \u201cgerrymandering\u201d carcelario, que distorsiona los distritos legislativos y del Congreso al contar a los prisioneros como residentes del lugar donde est\u00e1n encarcelados.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
El <\/span><\/span>Corregir la Ley de Conteo del Censo<\/i><\/span><\/span> requerir\u00eda que la Oficina del Censo de EE. UU. indique la residencia de las personas encarceladas como la direcci\u00f3n de su \u00faltima residencia conocida, no la direcci\u00f3n de la prisi\u00f3n en la que est\u00e1n encarceladas.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
"Nuestra rep\u00fablica democr\u00e1tica s\u00f3lo puede hacer justicia mediante 'Nosotros el Pueblo' si tenemos un censo justo y representativo", <\/span><\/span>dijo Merkley. <\/b><\/span><\/span>\u201cLa manipulaci\u00f3n carcelaria magnifica desproporcionadamente las voces de algunos, al tiempo que disminuye las voces de otros estadounidenses, especialmente las comunidades de color afroamericanas y latinas, que est\u00e1n desproporcionadamente encarceladas por nuestro sistema de justicia penal. Todo estadounidense, independientemente de su raza, ingresos o c\u00f3digo postal, merece una representaci\u00f3n justa e igualitaria en nuestro gobierno. Para cumplir plenamente esa visi\u00f3n, necesitamos reformar el censo y poner fin a la manipulaci\u00f3n carcelaria\u201d. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
"El censo es fundamental para apoyar la salud y el sustento de cada persona en nuestro pa\u00eds, y deber\u00edamos trabajar para garantizar que el recuento refleje verdaderamente a nuestras comunidades".<\/span><\/span> Murray dijo<\/b><\/span><\/span>. \u201cPoner fin a la manipulaci\u00f3n carcelaria es un paso positivo hacia la igualdad de condiciones en nuestra democracia al ayudar a garantizar que todas nuestras comunidades est\u00e9n representadas de manera justa y precisa en nuestro gobierno\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cYa es hora de que contemos a las personas encarceladas en sus comunidades de origen. En 2016, encabec\u00e9 una carta de todos los dem\u00f3cratas del Comit\u00e9 Judicial del Senado expresando su desacuerdo con la propuesta de la Oficina del Censo de seguir contando a las personas encarceladas como "residentes" de los lugares donde est\u00e1n confinadas. La pr\u00e1ctica actual de la Oficina del Censo agrava las desigualdades del sistema de justicia penal, redistribuye de manera inequitativa la representaci\u00f3n en el Congreso, asigna inadecuadamente recursos federales vitales y representa una aplicaci\u00f3n inconsistente de los est\u00e1ndares aplicados a otras poblaciones. Estoy orgulloso de que Delaware haya sido un l\u00edder en estos temas y continuar\u00e9 abogando por el cambio\u201d. <\/span><\/span>Dijo Coons.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Dado que la gran mayor\u00eda de las personas encarceladas no pueden votar, la manipulaci\u00f3n carcelaria distorsiona enormemente el principio fundamental de \u201cuna persona, un voto\u201d. Efectivamente, la manipulaci\u00f3n penitenciaria roba representaci\u00f3n a las comunidades donde anteriormente viv\u00edan los encarcelados y otorga representaci\u00f3n adicional a las comunidades en las que se encuentran las prisiones.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Seg\u00fan la ley actual, la Oficina del Censo tabula a las personas encarceladas como residentes de lugares penitenciarios, en lugar de su \u00faltimo lugar de residencia conocido antes del encarcelamiento. Registrar la ubicaci\u00f3n de una persona encarcelada como la prisi\u00f3n en la que est\u00e1 encarcelada distorsiona en gran medida el proceso de redistribuci\u00f3n de distritos. Esta pr\u00e1ctica influye negativamente en nuestro proceso democr\u00e1tico a nivel estatal y local, en el que una poblaci\u00f3n carcelaria puede representar f\u00e1cilmente a la mayor\u00eda de un distrito legislativo. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Sin reformar la forma en que el Censo cuenta a los estadounidenses encarcelados, los estados pueden diluir libremente el poder de voto de las comunidades afectadas desproporcionadamente por las altas tasas de encarcelamiento, a menudo comunidades de color de bajos ingresos que ya enfrentan otras formas de privaci\u00f3n de derechos. Esto tiene el potencial de permitir a\u00fan m\u00e1s que intereses poderosos elijan a sus propios votantes en lugar de que los votantes elijan a sus representantes. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
La pr\u00e1ctica de la manipulaci\u00f3n carcelaria socava el principio de representaci\u00f3n equitativa y justa y divide a las comunidades durante el proceso de redistribuci\u00f3n de distritos. El<\/span><\/span>Corregir la Ley de Conteo del Censo<\/i><\/span><\/span> finalmente garantizar\u00eda que todas las comunidades puedan estar plenamente representadas y contabilizadas de manera justa, independientemente de si un individuo de esa comunidad est\u00e1 encarcelado o no.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
El <\/span><\/span>Corregir la Ley de Conteo del Censo<\/i><\/span><\/span> Tambi\u00e9n ha sido presentada en la C\u00e1mara de Representantes de Estados Unidos por la representante Lacy Clay (D-MO-1) y est\u00e1 copatrocinada por 29 miembros de la C\u00e1mara. Esta legislaci\u00f3n cuenta con el respaldo del Proyecto de Sentencia, Causa Com\u00fan, Iniciativa de Pol\u00edtica Penitenciaria, Liga Urbana Nacional, Coalici\u00f3n Nacional sobre Participaci\u00f3n C\u00edvica Negra y la NAACP.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
