The Hill: Poll: 3/4 of Americans support criminal justice reform

…

Three-quarters of Americans think the nation’s criminal justice system needs to be significantly improved, according to a new poll out Thursday.

Momentum is already building for measures to incentivize prison programs that reduce recidivism rates under the Trump administration, but new data shows wide support among voters for other reforms, including reducing mandatory minimum prison sentences and giving ex-cons a fair chance to be judged on their qualifications before being asked about their criminal history when applying for a job. 

A Justice Action Network poll conducted by Robert Blizzard, a partner at the Republican-leaning Public Opinion Strategies, found a majority of Americans surveyed, 76 percent, believe that the country’s criminal justice system needs significant improvements.
