The Day Ahead
The startling facts about America’s prison system
Following
successful bipartisan passage of the FIRST STEP Act in the
House of Representatives, President Trump is hosting a roundtable
with a number of America’s governors today to discuss
implementing prison reform in their states.
President
Trump supports efforts to reduce recidivism—the return of
former inmates to prison—as a way to make America’s streets
safer. The Administration has worked closely with Congress to find
a solution that reduces crime, enhances public safety, and
increases opportunity for those who have earned a second chance.
“The
facts about America’s prison system are startling,” Senior
Advisor Jared Kushner wrote in The Wall Street Journal in April.
“The U.S. has 4% of the world’s population, but roughly 25% of
the world’s prisoners. . . . Of the 650,000 people who leave
prison every year, two-thirds will commit a new crime within three
years.”
The
bottom line, says Kushner: “President Trump promised to
fight for the forgotten men and women of this country—and that
includes those in prison.”

Vice President Pence on the U.S. Space Force
In
keeping with President Trump’s promise to rebuild American
strength and deterrence, the Administration is moving ahead to
fulfill the President’s plan to establish a U.S. Space Force as
part of our nation’s Military.
Vice President Pence, who chairs the National Space Council—which President Trump revived after a 24-year hiatus—is addressing defense leaders at the Pentagon today about the new Force. His effort builds on the President’s work to reinstate America as a leader in space.
“In
America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as
it is striving,” President Trump said in his Inaugural Address.
Making America a pioneer in space once again brings us closer to
that vision.
