Nashville Scene: Poll Shows Overwhelming Support for Criminal Justice Reform in Tennessee

New polling results announced by a coalition of advocacy organizations backs up what action at the state legislature increasingly seems to suggest: Criminal justice reform is on a short list of political topics where one can find bipartisan consensus. 

Coinciding with Gov. Bill Lee's first State of the State address — which included reform initiatives such as eliminating the expungement fee and expanding rehabilitation and re-entry programs in the state's prisons — the poll results were released Monday by the Justice Action Network, ACLU-TN and advocacy group Right on Crime. The poll, conducted by Robert Blizzard of Public Opinion Strategies, surveyed 500 registered Tennessee voters between Feb. 19 and 21.
