Gov. Phil Bryant Trump’s Prison Reform Plan: This Is Crime Prevention

‘We need these men and women to be out working with their families in their communities’

EXCERPT:

KILMEADE: "Do you sense the President is focused on doing this and getting it passed before November?"
BRYANT: "I do after yesterday. I think, as he heard Governor Perry, now energy secretary Perry, talk about what success they had in Texas, and Nathan Deal in Georgia. John Bel Edwards, Democrat from Louisiana, he heard how the states, Mississippi, has moved forward with prison reform, how successful it has been. He understands 70 percent of the people across America support this. This is crime prevention. About 70 to 80 percent of those that are released from prison will commit crimes again if we don’t have an active rehabilitation program and give them some opportunity as they leave incarceration."
