As violent crime continues to shake America’s cities and communities, it has become clear that the left’s policies and progressive prosecutors are failing to keep this country safe. Crime rates remain at historic highs and yet, far too often our broken system resorts to one of these two extreme views as a solution: “throw them all in jail” or “let them all go.”
By now, we all know better than thinking the criminal justice system is zero-sum.
Fortunately, conservatives have already been paving the way for real criminal justice reform focused on protecting society and protecting those who deserve a second chance. Conservative-led victories like the First Step Act, which was signed into law by President Trump, ensure the people who belong in jail stay, but that someone who has a chance at going back to their families, jobs, and communities gets one.
Conservatives have also created a roadmap for state-based reforms.
