On Thursday, a bipartisan group of senators, led by Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), unveiled improvements to the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act, S. 2123. The measure is designed to reform federal sentencing policies, bring substantive rehabilitative programming to federal prisons, address the growing costs of incarceration, and enhance public safety by focusing on reducing prisoners’ risk of recidivism.

This op-ed was jointly authored by Adam Brandon of FreedomWorks, Timothy Head of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform, and Marc Levin of Right on Crime.

Adam Brandon is the president and CEO of FreedomWorks. Wade Henderson is president of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. FreedomWorks and the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights are partners with the U.S. Justice Action Network.
