TownHall: Matthew Charles and The Impact Of The First Step Act
…
Holly Harris, Executive Director of The Justice Action Network shared similar thoughts to Townhall, "Matthew Charles exemplifies why the First Step Act had such overwhelming support on both sides of the aisle. His journey toward redemption and rehabilitation inspires people to believe in second chances; there was no moral, societal, judicial or fiscal reason he should have spent another day behind bars."
"Thanks to the unprecedented partnership between the White House and Democratic and Republican members of Congress, men and women like Matthew Charles can today live free as contributing members of American society," Harris concluded.
