When President Trump signed the First Step Act into law, he signed "a historic criminal justice reform bill that makes American communities safer ... and changes the way we think about prisons and second chances in our country," writes @jaredkushner blackpressusa.com/exclusive-op-e…
"The new consensus is that we are better served by helping those formerly incarcerated to have the best shot at a second chance, rather than warehousing them and sending them back into our communities without the necessary skills, tools, and support to have a prosperous life."
"President @realDonaldTrump has brought unprecedented Federal resources, focused national attention, and taken concrete steps to make sure people returning from prison are no longer forgotten and given the best chance to succeed."
"Now, unlike any other time in our country’s history – thanks to President Trump’s leadership on the First Step Act and a historic economic environment...those who have been held accountable for their crimes now have the opportunity to become contributing members of society."
