Republicans and Democrats Come Together Over Prison Reform
WASHINGTON — It's not too often that a socially conservative senator praises the work of President Barack Obama and the work of a liberal senator, but Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, did just that on Thursday morning.
While there are many partisan differences at play in Washington and in state capitals around the country that many Americans feel are dividing the country, one issue that both Democrats and Republicans are increasingly coming to an agreement on is the call to reform prison and criminal justice systems across the country.
Two of the leading voices on justice and prison reform in the United States Congress are Lee and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., whom each have their own reasons why they are passionate about reforming the United State's unjust federal criminal justice system.
