[QUOTE="jgarden, post: 74732150, member: 22001"] [B][SIZE=4]Donald Trump wants to bring back the "tough on crime" policies that helped cause mass incarceration[/SIZE][/B] Sep 21, 2016 For the past few years, criminal justice policy has widely been considered an area ripe for reform from Democrats and Republicans. They want to make the system less punitive and pull back mass incarceration — a rare show of bipartisanship in an increasingly polarized political climate. Then came Donald Trump. On the campaign trail, the Republican presidential candidate has been somewhat of an enigma on criminal justice issues. Trump's website [URL='https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions']includes no platform on criminal justice issues[/URL]. Reform advocates have long complained to me that they have trouble getting in touch with his campaign to get an idea of his views. And despite some vague remarks here and there, he's almost never talked at length about what he thinks about criminal justice issues. (His campaign didn't get back to me for this piece.) [URL]https://www.vox.com/2016/5/25/11737264/donald-trump-criminal-justice-republican-president[/URL] ************************************************************************************************************** How quick they forget - even before this President came into office, his authoritarian nature favored stiffer prison sentences, not leniency! Given that Roger Stone lied to authorities, pleaded not guilty, refused to cooperate with DOJ and threatened a witness, his sentencing recommendations were based on prescribed lengths of incarceration for felons who met this criteria, not arbitrary judgements! It is not normal for a President, nor the Attorney General, to intrude into ongoing trials - particularly for those felons with political connections where interference would be interpreted as obvious favoritism!
