Trump signs bipartisan bill that gives inmates incentives to re-enter society as productive citizens

Good news for all the criminal aliens Trump is allowing to stream into the country.

Trump set to endorse sentencing reform legislation

I hope he signs every radical bill the demons bring to him. Then let the people experience the weight of the demons upon their shoulders for their idiocy big time.

That should get the rebuke of the Demon-crat's off to a great start for 2020.

My life will be directly affected by this Bill if it passes. What judges are doing in my area is plea bargaining almost all violent offenses down to drug offenses only if any violent crime was committed under the influence. They do this to save money on jail costs. Giving judges more leeway is going to endanger people.

I have a friend who has a violent stalker who has assaulted them repeatedly while on drugs. The perp keeps dodging hard time because the judges keep allowing plea bargains down to just the drugs. Perp almost killed my friend twice last year. Is in jail now for the umpteenth time violating drug probations to where it became a felony. But if sentence is retroactively reduced, the hard lesson will be lost & the emboldening to kill heightened.

In short: FUCK this Bill.

Until we start shooting people... prison is just a place for criminals to learn how to be more criminal.

Prison population grows ... and violent crime rate DECLINES. Jared's head hurts! Let's release prisoners!

correlation does not equal causation.

Jared and the hip-hop artists currently advising him have decided that too many people are in prison. If you think you've heard this before, you have: Genius insights of this sort have preceded nearly every major crime wave this country has experienced, from Philadelphia to California to a bloody period known as "the Warren Court."

As anyone with an amoeba's understanding of recent history knows, beginning in the early '60s, assorted heads-up-their-asses liberals jettisoned logic, common sense and a basic understanding of human nature by releasing criminals from the prisons where they belonged.

"THE RESULTS: Crime rates skyrocketed. Murder rates suddenly shot up until the murder rate in 1974 was more than twice as high as in 1961. Between 1960 and 1976, a citizen's chances of becoming a victim of a major violent crime tripled." - Thomas Sowell

"It’s a good thing. You know, Texas is backing it, if you look at Mississippi and Georgia and a lot of other places, they believe in it, those governors, and they’re conservative people. Rick Perry’s a big fan.

You know, a lot of people are backing it. Look at the people that are backing it. Even, you know, like Mike Lee, he votes against a lot of things and we respect Mike and Mike is backing it. We have a lot of people that are backing this." - Eloquent Donald

This is not rocket science. Lock up criminals and they can't commit any more crimes. As a New York Times headline put it in 2004 with characteristic cluelessness: "Despite Drop in Crime, an Increase in Inmates.

'Really good Criminal Justice Reform has a true shot at major bipartisan support. Cocaine Mitch and Cryin Chuck have a real chance to do something so badly needed in our country. Already passed, with big vote, in House. Would be a major victory for ALL!" - President Trump

Naturally the left hate that it was Trump and not Obama.

DumBama let plenty of prisoners out during his time.

from Politico:

A new analysis is giving Sen. Tom Cotton an attack line: That a bipartisan prison reform bill could actually let sex offenders could get off easy. The Republican senator is now locked in an awkward fight with his GOP colleagues after the Justice Department analysis – conducted at Cotton's request – found that the First Step Act could make people convicted of some sex crimes eligible for early release.

The bill is a key priority for dozens of Republican and Democratic senators, including some who have fought for years to get floor time for criminal justice reform. But with the latest evidence, Cotton is calling for a reset – to “fix these problems instead of ramming this bill through.”
