Sen. Webb Wants New Commission to Review Criminal Justice System
Posted on February 18, 2009
This year Senator Jim Webb of Virginia says he will seek legislation to launch a comprehensive review of the criminal justice system. He says the focus must be on making sharp distinctions between offenders of violent crimes and those incarcerated for non-violent crimes, drug abuse and mental illness so that we lock up the most dangerous people instead of diverting time and money to incarcerate the wrong people.
