发帖数: 61690 | 1 Former President Bill Clinton on Thursday disavowed a tough crime law that
he signed in 1994, saying it made the problem of mass incarceration worse.
"I signed a bill that made the problem worse, and I want to admit it,"
Clinton said at the NAACP's convention in Philadelphia, a day after
President Obama highlighted criminal justice reform there.
While the package he signed placed 100,000 additional police officers on the
streets and banned certain assault weapons, it also contained provisions
critics say warped prison sentencing standards.
Among those was a federal provision mandating life sentences for those
convicted of three violent felonies or drug trafficking crimes — the “
three strikes rule” — and a provision allowing those as young as 13 to be
tried as adults.
Clinton justified his decision to sign the two decades-old law, noting the
rising crime that was plaguing the country when he first entered the White
House.
"We had gang warfare on the streets. We had little children being shot dead
on the streets who were just innocent bystanders standing in the wrong place
," he said. | s*******1
