Senate passes First Step Act

December 23, 2018 by Wayne Creed 2 Comments


The Senate on Tuesday passed a criminal justice reform bill in an 87-12 vote, overwhelmingly approving the biggest changes to the federal criminal justice system in decades.

The Formerly Incarcerated Reenter Society Transformed Safely Transitioning Every Person Act or FIRST STEP Act is legislation to reform the federal prison system. It was passed by the U.S. Senate on December 18, 2018, and the House is scheduled to have a conciliatory vote on it before the end of the year.[1] Among other provisions, it would allow for employees to store their firearms securely at federal prisons, restrict the use of restraints on pregnant women, expand compassionate release for terminally ill patients, place prisoners closer to family in some cases, authorize new markets for Federal Prison Industries, mandate de-escalation training for correctional officers and employees, and make improvements to feminine hygiene in prison.


America is the greatest Country in the world and my job is to fight for ALL citizens, even those who have made mistakes. Congratulations to the Senate on the bi-partisan passing of a historic Criminal Justice Reform Bill. 
This will keep our communities safer, and provide hope and a second chance, to those who earn it. In addition to everything else, billions of dollars will be saved. I look forward to signing this into law!

    Something good from the Trump shop. Something the Democrats would have been proud to have initiated.

      “Something the Democrats would have been proud to have initiated.”

      Except they didn’t. With 8 years of Obama. Not once was it raised. Not. Once.

      Have you figured out yet that the Left ONLY desires power, and will lie to you repeatedly about their platform to attain it?
