Governor delivers remarks at White House Washington, D.C. - Gov. Matt Bevin on Friday joined President Donald J. Trump and a wide array of elected officials and criminal justice reform advocates at the White House for the signing of the historic First Step Act. "From the perspective of a governor of a state where this issue touches people at the ground level, this is significant," said Gov. Bevin. "Criminal justice reform transcends partisanship. The reason this has not historically been addressed is that you don't win political points by doing this, but it's the right thing to do. We have taken individuals who had been relegated to second- and third-class citizenship in America, and have now given them -- along with their families and communities -- the opportunity to believe that there is hope." C-SPAN has coverage of Bevin's remarks. According to Wikipedia, the First Step Act will, among other things, "allow for employees to store their firearms securely at federal prisons, restrict the use of restraints on pregnant women, expand compassionate release for terminally ill patients, place prisoners closer to family in some cases, authorize new markets for Federal Prison Industries, mandate de-escalation training for correctional officers and employees, and make improvements to feminine hygiene in prison.
