        Let’s remember as we celebrate Alice Johnson’s release that Trump has called for the death penalty for certain drug offenses by people who don’t know Kim Kardashian.

        Like Trump or not, this was a good thing. There should be no argument. If Obama did it he would be praised

        Commutation was afforded but generosity was not reason. Congratulations to her. However many more still needing same. Many more deserve review of cases.

        I’m very happy that she got her freedom back She should’ve never been in jail in the first place It’s unfortunate that there are jails being built to house more prisoners just like her Too bad this is just a special favor, instead of a policy change #nonviolentOffenders

        I too am happy for her and believe a life sentence was extreme. However, are you implying that nonviolent offenders, such as drug dealers, don’t deserve prison sentences? Criminal acts have consequences. Although maybe not a life sentence, she did deserve some time.

        I am implying that. Instead of punishment & incarceration for this particular non violent crime, rehabilitation and education would have been much more productive IMO. Jail doesn’t have to be the answer for all “crimes”

        Our approach on the “war on drugs” as been an complete and utter failure. We need to rethink the justice system in this instance when especially when 86% of the federal prison system is composed of non-violent offenders.

        POTUS Obama commuted the sentence of 1,715 people. The majority non violent drug charges as Alice Marie Johnson. Where were the 3 day news cycle praising his actions⁉️Kim a BS distraction to cover Trump Klan pardons. The Kardashians & Jenners are in Bed with Trump #Sunkenplacepic.twitter.com/OcKQzD5HBY
