So far I have be disinclined to blog about what should come after the FIRST STEP Act, in part because the bill is still not yet officially law and in part because I think the most important (and challenging) work right after the enactment of the FIRST STEP Act is taking the many steps necessarily to effectively and expansively apply and implement all of its provisions. But, perhaps unsurprisingly given the modest nature of so many of the provisions of the FIRST STEP Act, a number of fine folks are already writing fine things about next steps. Here is a sampling of some of this writing:
-
From Inimai Chettiar and Ames Grawert, "FIRST STEP Act must be a stepping stone to much more aggressive reform"
-
From Justice George, "Okay, What’s the Second Step?: Now that the First Step Act passed, prison reformers are already making lists."
-
From Shon Hopwood, "Beyond First Steps: Reforming the Federal Bureau of Prisons"
-
From Jasmine Tyler, "Why the First Step Act shouldn’t be the last"
