CNN: This bipartisan bill is Congress' chance to fix our failing prison system

Today's lawmakers don't agree on much, but almost everyone agrees that when it comes to our criminal justice system, we can and must do better. 

That bipartisanship extends to the American public, too. A recent Justice Action Network poll showed that 68% of Republicans, 78% of Independents, and 80% of Democrats support criminal justice reform -- with 85% wanting the criminal justice system focused more on rehabilitation.
