President Trump pushes First Step Act which hires former prisoners

President Trump embraced Alice Marie Johnson, the woman whose cause was championed by Kim Kardashian West, on stage at the White House on Monday while shocking those in attendance by praising the media for covering her case. Johnson was serving a life sentence in a federal prison for drug trafficking until last year, when Trump commuted her sentence. She ended up serving 21 years in prison. Trump was joined at the White House by Johnson and other former prisoners to celebrate legislation passed by the Congress and signed by the president overhauling the criminal justice system.

@@tjpaiva3296 he did not end private prisons. According to AP News, the Obozo Administration was phasing out some use of private prisons. There was no specific timeframe for this occurrence. And it's mighty funny that he didn't even consider this until his very last year in office. Makes me think that it wasn't that important to him. And you must remember that he endorsed HrC, who has been in bed with the private prison industry since she and her husband started the use of said prisons in the 90s. apnews.com/567c4b8693044e2c98e3d6fb81682c1f
