KEEPING VIOLENT CRIMINALS OFF THE STREETS…AND MAKING SURE INMATES GET TREATMENT. THOSE ARE TWO OF THE THEMES IN A BI-PARTISAN PACKAGE OF ANTI-CRIME LEGISLATION BEING INTRODUCED FOR THE UPCOMING SESSION.
REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVE NATE GENTRY SAYS ONE PROPOSAL WOULD INCREASE PENALTIES FOR VIOLENT OFFENDERS.
ANOTHER MEASURE WOULD ENSURE THAT INMATES GET THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT THEY NEED. THE PACKAGE OF LEGISLATION IS CO-SPONSORED BY DEMOCRATIC SENATOR DANIEL IVEY-SOTO.
