Today marks exactly 10 months since President Trump signed the FIRST STEP Act into law. As noted in posts here and here, last week brought the first oversight hearing on the law in Congress. Perhaps because of that hearing, I have recently seen a number of press pieces and commentary discussing FIRST STEP implementation, and here is a round up:
From Filter by Sessi Kuwabara Blanchard, "The Consequences of an Incompetent First Step Act Rollout"
From the Providence Journal, "He was released early from prison in February. Now hes wanted for a murder on Federal Hill"
From the Providence Journal, "Nephew of Providence murder victim: Don't blame First Step Act"
From The Hill by Arthur Rizer and Emily Mooney, "Don't give up on the First Step Act"
From the Washington Times, "First Step Act is working, but the criminal justice system is still broken"
From The Crime Report by Ted Gest, "White House Pledges Hard Work on First Step Act"
