@ChMadar In my view, something real is going on in Mississippi: DOC population is down 10%+ this year. That's 2000+ fewer people in prison.

@davidminbklyn I hope that continues. What do you make of the "net-widening" criticism of MS' big bipartisan crim justice reform bill?
-
@ChMadar I was in Jackson meeting w excellent crim defense attnys last month. My sense is the widening is tiny compared to increased parole -
@ChMadar Dont get me wrong, MS has a long, long way to go, but real progress. Next on agenda: bail, JLWOP, and key: habitual offender laws -
@davidminbklyn Thanks for the intel. I'm curious about how much of the "net-widening" is hypothetical, how much real, in MS & elsewhere.
-
@ChMadar Yes, time/data will tell. But man I wish we could make even a fraction as much progress in LA/FL as we appear to be making in MS
