Prisoners issues are being watered down by both political parties. Ask the Democrats will they scale back old laws passed under Bill Clinton administration? Or will they attempt to offer rehabilitation and early release to so called violent offenders? Same politics

In fairness, and I don't entirely disagree with you, what is happening right now is about five politicians (Cotton, Cruz, Rubio, Cornyn, John Kennedy) are holding everyone else hostage, they are the ones freaking out about "violence" in early release.
Sweeping changes be when they repeal a few old laws. Not create new acts to reform the old ones

agreed, but it has been decades since we have even had new acts to reform the old ones, have to start somewhere and this bill does symbolically question some premises that, I believe, will start to corrode the logic of Tough On Crime and set the stage for more

worst case scenario, it helps some people be with their families again...helps some other folks in other ways, that is important to me (even if not sweeping)

I will say, however, your original point - divorced from my response - is very critical...violence/non-violence is one of the most counterproductive and fake distinctions there is.
