What Are the Biggest Problems with the First Step Act?
The First Step Act, signed into law in December 2018, was a bipartisan criminal justice reform bill aimed at addressing some of the issues within the U.S. federal prison system.
Some of the biggest problems and criticisms associated with The First Step Act include:
1. Limited Scope
2. Risk Assessment Tools
3. Exclusion of Certain Offenders
4. Lack of Reentry Support
To be clear, the First Step Act is just that - a first step. While it has undoubtedly had positive impacts on millions of lives, it cannot, and should not, be seen as a miracle cure for the problems within the Federal criminal justice system.
If your loved one is incarcerated and you believe he or she should qualify for benefits such as early release to a halfway house under the First Step Act, or you would simply like to learn more about the Act and see how it may apply to your case, please do not hesitate to get in touch, and we will be happy to go over your individual situation!
