Sadly, the Biden administration and liberal prosecutors appear to be more sympathetic to the dangerous criminals than they do to the law-abiding citizens they harm.

all the data I've seen shows a dollar invested in just need simple education program--GED, BA, graduate degrees--returns to the taxpayers a lot in terms of dropping the recidivism rates.

I think we have this falsehood that often rhetorically is heard here in Washington, that somehow Americans are not equally concerned, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat or an Independent, about the safety of their communities.

Unfortunately, this administration and many liberal DAs across the country have gone to great lengths to ensure that dangerous criminals never walk through the doors of the criminal justice system.

This was driving racial disparities in our country, because incarceration rates amongst low income communities and Black and brown communities were incredibly higher than in other communities.

Every single person on this side of the aisle warned that she would not enforce the law.

Rehabilitation, when possible, was and remains an important part of our criminal justice system.

I realized that just helping people coming out of prison, being that the recidivism rates were unconsciously high, could be one of the best strategies.

Are there people in this institution that are wasting taxpayer dollars and really shouldn't be here? Absolutely, yes.

It's failing. It's undermining the implementation of the First Step Act.
