prison reform

[HairOfTheDog]

Hopefully, the state and local governments will follow the Feds' lead when it comes to sentencing reform

I think it may come down to whether one lives in a blue state or red state. I pity the fools in red states.

No doubt that the states represented by the conservative Republican Freedom Caucus and other congresspersons who fought the legislation will resist reforms the most.

But, it's possible that the citizens in their districts will force them to get on board, in my opinion.

The biggest share of meth and Opioid addicts live in the heartland.  That's also where unemployment is the highest overall.  So, I can see the people there pushing for sentencing reforms that include drug treatment if  they're informed with the facts.
