During a town hall on CNN on Wednesday, 2024 Republican presidential candidate former Vice President Mike Pence stated that “we need to take a step back from the approach of the First Step Act” and “we need to take a step back and rethink the First Step Act.” And called for making criminal penalties tougher.
Pence said, “I…believe it’s going to be important that we get a lot more serious about serious offenders. Look, we passed what was called the First Step Act at the federal level, President Trump signed it into law. When I was governor of the State of Indiana, we signed similar legislation.
