In a statement, Mr. Kushner played down his role. "For all those who are deserving of a second chance, this legislation will make a meaningful and measurable difference in their lives," he said. "We could not have reached this point without the leadership and vision of the president."

Answer....
Because Trump does not want to be held personally responsible when these guys start committing new crimes.
So, thanks to Jared, both political parties support this jail break, the MSM will not report any of the new crimes, no one will be blamed for anything, and thousands of former-Democrats will have their voting rights restored.
Just wait until the FIL is behind bars.
It's not a "jail break". It allows judges more leeway. It lowers the life sentence for 3 strikes to 25 years. It is not retroactive.
The President can’t pardon for the future.
This lil piece of filth will end up in prison just like his daddy.
You want Don Trump in jai1?
Remember all those “Reform Criminal Justice!” rallys? Me neither.
Given that the 17th Level Intelligence Messiah and zis Warlocks and Wizards don’t doesn’t seem to be doing much to shield POTUS, it could happen.
I’m baffled myself over this one. I’ll bet even most convicted criminals don’t think sentencing reform is a major issue of importance for this country.
Is that so?
Father-in-law?
Correct.
It's my understanding, from MSM sources, that thousands of “non-violent” felons would become eligible for immediate release.
Since 96% of federal inmates have pleaded guilty to a reduced charge, "early release" strikes me as an insane idea.
“non-violent” according to Obama, Rats, media, GOP etc. is not necessarily non-violent.
Doesn’t sound good. Trump must have misheard “Lock her up” at the rallies to mean “Let them go”.

The Slimes is happy, so you know it’s not good.
What “rare victory”? Kushner is kicking ass all over the globe.
I am all for criminal justice reform. I may be in the minority of Freepers but stand with Trump and Kushner. We’re too hard on crimes like drugs (willing seller and buyer, addiction notwithsstanding) and too soft on violent crime. The real problem is money, as ever. Take the money out of drugs and the murder rate and robbery/burglary rates will plummet. Prisons have become schools for small time crooks to learn big time crime.
We have 3 tiers of justice, one for the regular guy, one for the rich, and the powerful are above it all committing crimes with glee. I’ve lost all respect, and I know being a cop is a tough, underpaid, underappreciated job. Want cops and the law to be respected? Then change the laws. Don’t use cops for revenue enhancement. Don’t fill prisons with the non-violent. Go after the people who are real threats to the life and safety of innocent people, and shake down people on parole and probation to make sure they stay on the straight and narrow. And stop letting the abuses of power at the top to go on without justice being served.
Anyone who wants to pursue a Federal criminal justice reform bill should start by eliminating about 95% of the crimes in the Federal criminal code. Giving more judicial discretion in sentencing for crimes that are already outside the constitutional authority of the Federal government is a joke.
Re: “The Slimes is happy, so you know it’s not good.”
Excellent insight, and concisely written.
I use a similar standard to evaluate Trump nominees.
If more than four Senate Democrats vote to confirm, I know we are in trouble.
