Today, December 17, 2018, the U.S. Senate votes on "Criminal Justice Reform" to promote community rehabilitation, rather than incarceration for drug offenses. This is something that would never have been possible with previous Presidents; ongoing "Tough On Crime" legislations in the U.S., led to mass incarceration including life sentences for drug possession/distribution.
One, very essential individual behind the scenes providing team-work, feverishly anxious to make this happen is:
White House Own: Jared Kushner
This is fabulous news, and kudos to U.S. Senate representatives -- Get this moving! The U.S. has been listed around the globe, as having the highest number of incarcerated individuals; facilitating privatization in relation to the almighty "Prison Industrial Complex." Time to close down those inhumane ice-boxes; that uses vulnerable individuals for financial gain.
Criminal Justice Reform must also consider community rehabilitation for non-violent crimes and first-time offenders.
