Credited from: THEHILL

  • President-elect Trump is known for his unpredictability, especially in criminal justice policy, as seen with the enactment of the First Step Act.
  • The First Step Act, which passed with overwhelming support, rolled back mandatory minimums and allowed for sentence reduction through rehabilitative programs.
  • Analysis indicates individuals released under the Act have a 37% to 55% lower recidivism rate compared to previous releases.

  • Upcoming challenges for the administration include avoiding federal overreach in state and local criminal justice matters while advocating for measures like the VICTIM and EQUAL Acts.
