First Step Act aims at scaled prison reforms across parties
The First Step Act proposes reducing mandatory minimums from 20 to 15 years for serious crimes and allows judge discretion for nonviolent offenders. It would release about 2,600 inmates initially and adjusts three strikes to 25 years. The plan adds home proximity rules, prisoner protection measures, and post release help while sparking partisan debate.
