The watchword of my Administration has been reform.
Justice delayed is not only justice denied, it is also justice circumvented, justice mocked, the system of justice undermined.
Our correctional systems must be changed to make them places that will correct and educate.
It is well known that I would prefer a negotiated agreement to solve this problem.
