Politico: Senate approves Trump-backed criminal justice overhaul

“Today was a resounding win for second chances, bipartisanship, and, most importantly, for the thousands of Americans families who are burdened by our broken justice system,” said Holly Harris, executive director of Justice Action Network. 

“In one of the most divisive political climates in decades, Republican and Democratic senators reached across the aisle and made history, ushering in a new era for a justice system that prioritizes rehabilitation, provides second chances, and, ultimately, makes us all safer," Harris said.
