What they’re saying about the First Step Act
“Federal prisons should provide opportunities for men and women behind bars to make amends and earn back the public’s trust … This legislation will allow men and women in our federal prisons to return home sooner and better prepared to give back to their families and communities at their highest potential … We believe these changes will improve the effectiveness of our prisons and public safety.” – Aleph Institute, Americans for Tax Reform, Association of Gospel Rescue Missions, Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, Bridges to Life, Christian Community Development Association, Commonwealth Foundation, Correctional Ministries & Chaplains Association, Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, Douglass Leadership Institute, Due Process Institute, Faith & Freedom Coalition, Florida Tax Watch, Heritage Action, Institute for Prison Ministries, James Madison Institute, Louisiana Family Forum, Mississippi Center for Public Policy, National Association of Evangelicals, National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, National Latino Evangelical Coalition, Pegasus Institute, Prison Fellowship, R Street Institute, Rio Grande Foundation, Soteria Community Development Association, Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, and Right on Crime
