First Step Act

Designed to give non-violent inmates a 2nd chance, it provides them with opportunities to participate in drug treatment programs, vocational training, and other educational training. This bill allows them to have better chances of obtaining jobs once they are released so that they will be less likely to return to a life of crime. In April of 2019 16,000 inmates had enrolled in drug treatment programs. It rolls back provisions of the 1994 Clinton crime law that disproportionately hurt AA community. More than 500 people with unfair sentences were released from prison. Even Van Jones supported. The First Step Act expanded avenues for eligible elderly and terminally ill prisoners to get their sentences reduced by allowing for their motions to be directly filed with the courts. The First Step Act authorized eligible low-risk and elderly inmates to be transferred to home confinement when possible
