Contributing sentiments towards policy:
55% : The First Step Act of 2018 was a sweeping measure that chipped away at mandatory minimums, expanded the possible use of compassionate release and created a new way for people to get out of prison early.51% : "The crux of the bill was this 'earned time credit,' based on the idea that you could take recidivism-reducing programming and earn credits and get released to a halfway house or community custody sooner," said Kevin Ring, president of the prisoner advocacy group FAMM, formerly known as Families Against Mandatory Minimums.
37% : "All the false promises of criminal justice reform and cutting the BOP population just haven't happened," Derek Smith, a federal prisoner in Arkansas, wrote to me a few weeks ago.
