President Donald Trump signs the FIRST STEP Act in the Oval Office on Dec. 21, 2018
By Samuel Smith, CP Reporter
President Donald Trump signed into law on Friday what proponents say is the most comprehensive federal prison reform bill in decades.
Trump signed the bipartisan, evangelical-backed FIRST STEP Act at the Oval Office of the White House joined by criminal justice reform advocates, faith leaders, ex-offenders and lawmakers who've pushed hard to pass the bill before the close of the current Congress.
According to the White House, the bill “paves a new pathway for our federal justice system” and reforms decades of policies that “have failed Americans.”
White House officials noted that approximately 77 percent of state inmates and 38 percent of federal inmates are rearrested within five years of their release.
Trump admitted that he did “start off a little bit on the negative side” when it came to his opinion of the FIRST STEP Act but was persuaded over the last few weeks by speaking to “people really involved” and by looking at the successes that states like Texas, Kentucky, Georgia and others that are “known for being tough on crime” have had passing similar reforms.
“Criminal justice reform — everybody said it couldn’t be done,” Trump said at the signing ceremony. “They said that the conservatives won’t approve it and the liberals won’t approve it. They said nobody is going to approve it, everybody is going to be against it. It has been many years, numerous decades and nobody came close.”
