In June, the IACP voiced its support for the FIRST STEP Act (S. 2795/H.R. 5682) and applauded the bill sponsors, Representatives Doug Collins (R-GA) and Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and the U.S. administration for working with the IACP and soliciting our feedback. The IACP believes the legislation achieves a proper balance of maintaining public safety while providing rehabilitation services and early release incentives to qualified federal prisoners.
