The best known of them is Kris Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state who has worked to suppress votes in that state and elsewhere by claiming to be battling a major vote fraud problem. Kobach has for many years been “of counsel” to the Immigration Reform Law Institute, which is the legal arm of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has for many years listed FAIR as a hate group — its founder has written that the United States should have “a European-American majority, and a clear one at that,” and corresponded with Klan lawyers, Holocaust deniers and others as he

YES !

As well timely due process in death penalty cases....

.. With DNA and Modern forensics , a state, federal district court and the US supreme court appeals process no convicted murderer should set on death row longer than 18 months.

Also consider house arrest with monitoring for non violent minor crimes including work release to pay their own way and still support family if such is the case. If they violate work release intentional then the sentence is tripled with no parole and the criminal does said time in prison.
