The article really makes no attempt to shine light on the whole bill, or the intent here. What “traffickers” are they talking about? Addicts who sell to support their habit or cartels? I’ll wait until I hear what Trump has to say. I trust his judgement.

Van Jones Says Donald Trump Is On His Way To Being The ‘Uniter-in-Chief’

Here is the text of the FIRST STEP ACT.

There is a list of ineligible crimes, ranging from sexual assault to murder. This bill institutes early release based on earning days off for "anti-recidivism" training; however, in my experience (with juvenile offenders), I saw little benefit from such programs.

The fact that the bill states that they will prioritize high-risk prisoners means those with the best chances of reintegration will be at the bottom of the list and those who are released will more likely re-offend.

"I’ll wait until I hear what Trump has to say. I trust his judgement."

I think that's the wisest thing to do. I've seen at least one other questionable piece written by Mr. Binder in regards to the President.
