I would point out that in a number of these states, for example, georgia North Carolina experienced after the implementation of their Reentry Program something modelled after the corrections act, they saw a 19. 3 reduction in recidivism. Other states, 10 in georgia, 9. 4 , right right.

Forward, but also to people who were convicted and sentenced under old laws. Inmate sentences under the old mandatory minimums can ask a judge to sentence them in accordance with the new mandatory minimums. But a prosecutor gets to weigh in also.
