    1 in 4 American adults has a criminal record. 2.7 million kids have a parent in prison. The US should enforce the rule of law, but also encourage redemption, restoration & #SecondChances. I’m proud to co-sponsor a resolution (S.Res.440) designating April as #SecondChanceMonth.

        Change your attitude about marijuana and no private prisons. Incarceration should not be a for profit business.

        The attorney general that YOU vetted has shares in two mutual funds that include holdings in two leading private prison companies. The current U.S. Justice Dept. has reversed an order by the Obama administration to phase out the use of private contractors to run federal prisons.

        Most are drug charges because selling drugs makes more money than working. Why don’t you sponsor something to raise minimum wages!

        Oklahoma pays a penalty if the private prisons are not occupied at a certain percentage. Somethings should not be for profit.

        Disapprove of your policy speeding federal judges along, r’s stalled all through Obama’s term and now want to push through as many young judges as possible. McConnell is about as close to diabolical as politicians get and Lankford is happy to play ball

        Is there any substance to this bill? Or is it simply an empty gesture?

        That sounds very symbolic. Do you have anything of substance to accomplish today?

        Oklahoma incarcerates more of its own citizens than almost anywhere else in the world. Change the system.

        YOUR state has a SCREWY LAW: "IF you were found INNOCENT in another state, but IF you MIGHT have been found guilty in OKLAHOMA, THEN you MUST register as a SEXOFFENDER on coming to Oklahoma, NO statute of limitations."

        Our initial calling card, in reaching out... Is NOT preaching... But about a jillion packages of cookies. Oh, and a retreat over a weekend in their facility, that many report as lifechanging.
