US SEN. RAND PAUL: WAR ON DRUGS A TRAVESTY
Give Non-Violent Offenders A Second Chance
In this USA Today article, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky, explains the
reasons behind bi-partisan federal legislation introduced to help
non-violent offenders rejoin society and find meaningful employment.
Senator Paul states that "the war on drugs has disproportionately
affected men and women of color...[It] has not lessened drug use. It
has simply transformed a health problem into a prison problem, and
ultimately an employment and voting rights problem." The proposed
legislation would restore voting rights and provide a way for adults to
seal non-violent criminal records. Read more on why individuals and families need a second chance.
