The First Step Act recognizes that helping federal inmates prepare for a successful life outside of prison can reduce recidivism and crime. Through the Joseph Project, I have witnessed formerly incarcerated individuals transform their lives when given work opportunities.
Like most legislation, the #FirstStepAct is not perfect, and provisions I hoped to see included were not adopted. Nevertheless, I believe the potential positives outweighed my concerns and I voted to support it.
It will be the responsibility of Congress to closely monitor the results of the law in the years ahead, and make modifications if necessary. #FirstStepAct #JosephProjectWI
