Prison reform = let prisoners out
Let prisoners out = more crime
More crime = more victims
Ahh, no.

@adhane05 Seems like a good start. Needs some work down the road.

@Budwick hahaha It's not that bad. It's mostly to help people who commit victimless crimes.

@SW-User Funny?
Which part was the funniest? More crime? Or more victims?

@Budwick Neither. If you don't read whats being passed, don't assume. This will not lead to more crime. We are not letting murders go free but reforming victimless crimes. Like going to jail for unpaid speeding tickets, or unpaid child support (which also needs to be reformed).

SW-User

@SW-User Hmm,
So it separates crack cocaine and the powdered form of the drug - cuz crack鈥檚 prevalence in many black neighborhoods in the 1980s, the crack penalty hit African Americans much harder than white powder cocaine users.
And instead of judges having the ability to offer leniency only for offenders with no previous criminal history, they would be able to do that for criminals with limited history - what ever that is.
Then there is free tampons and sanitary napkins for female prisoners.
Sorry - I'm not sold.
