WASHINGTON – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Tuesday the Senate would take up a long-awaited bipartisan bill that aims to reduce the number of people in the nation's crowded prisons.

The Senate bill among other things includes provisions that give judges more discretion in sentencing offenders for nonviolent crime, particularly drug offenders, and aims to improve rehabilitation programs for former prisoners.

An unusual coalition of Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals, civil rights groups and the White House have rallied around criminal justice reform pushing for action on the latest effort: a Senate bill called the “First Step Act."

Good. Prison is essentially a giant welfare pit. Need to commute the sentences of the non-violent offenders.

The unfortunate part of this is it adds democrat voters. The prisons are full of them.

At least they aren't going to execute them, if they did they all could vote democrat two or three times just like they do in Chicago

You're joking right?

Trump could cure cancer, end world hunger, and bring peace to the world, and libtards would still be "Orange man bad!"
