Paul Ryan To Team
Up with Obama On Criminal Justice Reform
by Michelle Fields 12 Jan 2016
House Speaker Rep. Paul
Ryan (R-WI) 56% is set to work with President Obama this year
on the issue of criminal justice reform.
According to Politico:
Ryan said in the interview he believes the GOP will craft
a criminal justice reform plan in the next six months, a major development in
the party’s agenda. He said he has spoken with Virginia Democratic Rep. Bobby
Scott, House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) 100%
(R-Utah) and Rep. Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho), a key figure in the conservative
House Freedom Caucus.
“The silly season is going to kick in pretty fast,” Ryan
said of the campaign for the White House. “I think criminal justice reform is
probably the biggest [issue] we can make a difference on. … There’s a real way
forward on that.”
Similarly, President Obama is expected to make criminal
justice reform a major issue in his final State of the Union address. One of
President Obama’s guests
at the address will be ex-convict Sue Ellen Allen.
She spent seven years as an inmate in an Arizona prison
and now offers resources to women in prison. She will be there to help
highlight the issue of criminal justice reform, which the Obama administration
hopes will be part of the president’s legacy.
According to Buzzfeed:
Criminal justice is set to be a huge part of that legacy
and get a prominent place in the speech. The Obama administration has linked
with conservatives and liberals to push changes to the justice system aimed at
reducing the number of people put in prison and the length of time nonviolent
offenders spend there, and reducing the costs associated with a system that
houses more inmates than any other country on Earth.
