Doug Collins on Crime

 

 


Supports conservative criminal justice reform

States like Georgia and Texas have paved the way for conservative criminal justice reform, which can save money and improve lives. I introduced the Prison Reform and Redemption Act to create a federal prison-wide system for evaluating the risk of every individual prisoner for reoffending and then offering evidence-based resources--like mental health care, vocational skills, substance abuse treatment, and faith-based programs--that make them less likely to reoffend when they are released.
