“Americans for Prosperity-Virginia supports justice reform that emphasizes public safety and human dignity, is based on equal application of the law, and that encourages second chances. The status-quo can benefit from improvements on a number of fronts from interactions with law enforcement, bail and parole reform as well as breaking barriers to successful reentry out of the criminal justice system after paying their debts, ” said Ben Knotts, Legislative Liaison for AFP-VA. “We look forward to advancing these efforts in the special session, and look forward to partnering with anyone consistent with these ideals. We are glad to see many of these reforms outlined by Senate Leadership and look forward to seeing the proposed legislation to break barriers for all Virginians.”
