It was Trump hunting for the elusive black shift. It was ill-advised... I thought so at the time.

“The bill modifies the computation of good time credit to allow a prisoner to earn a maximum of 54 days per year of the sentence imposed (instead of 54 days per year of the sentence actually served).”
I don’t see how this reduces the length of the sentence. Why is the length of the “sentence imposed” less than the length of time “actually served”? The convict must have had some other credit so served less time than the actual sentence. Seems a stretch to call this a Trump policy backfire.

PDJT got more black men’s votes in 2020 than 2016. But probably fewer overall female votes, due to this issue.

Indeed. Recall his "Platinum Plan" for $500 billion in reparations?
