Des Moines Register: Here's why you should care whether Congress finally passes criminal justice reform

“So we have (a) once-in-a-generation opportunity to accomplish something on criminal justice reform,” Grassley said Tuesday during a forum sponsored by the Justice Action Network and the Washington Post. you can watch highlights of the forum on Washingtonpost.com. Grassley and Durbin both said the bill has more than enough bipartisan votes to pass.
