"As a former federal prosecutor, I am clear-eyed about crime. Unlike some reformers, I don’t think our justice system is fundamentally broken, unjust, or corrupt."

Whoever wrote that must live in a cave somewhere and have no sources of information at all.

From my experience, reading just a few lines and reacting usually ends up with the wrong impression. Mike Lee is one of the co-authors of the prison reform bill.

President Trump backs prison reform legislation co-written by Utah Sen. Mike Lee

Like you I am still miffed at Mike Lee for this back in Oct. 2016 But he is not saying that reform is not needed. 8>)

Having done Crime Stat research for a decade, it’s a LIE #1. #2 EVERY FORM OF REFORM has been tried. It all FAILED. Only 2 things work INCARCERATION and the DEATH PENALTY. Recidivism at the 11 month 29 day facilities is 95%. 30 DAY SERVE RATE. National is nearly 70% probably over as Crime is Hierarchical Counted. Plea Deals. Crimes committed while on bail, parole or probation are in the MILLIONS.

Dumbest line I heard while sitting in the court room waiting for my 16 yr old’s son’s SOCIOPATHIC killer to be called was “YOUR HONOR, MY CLIENT IS NOT IN YOUR COURT TODAY, HE’S IN JUDGE .... COURT. BAIL WAS NOT REVOKED. COME BACK IN 30 DAYS. WHICH JUDGE #2 WOULD ALSO TELL THE PREP.

BTW Jeremy’s killer ambushed him on his way home from school and BEAT him to death for the jollies, then went and bragged about it to his friends and dragged them to the site of the crime. Stood there as police were investigating as 1 of them called the police. Ran, got caught took over 2 yrs to reach a Plea Deal of 20 yrs from a Murder 1 to a Murder 2 charge. Served 10.5 yrs as I fought those 6 parole hearings using their FAKE stats.

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. - The Force was not on Luke Sky Walker’s side when he was arrested by police this week.
