This bill is a disaster! It will only make our prisons less safe and put dangerous criminals back on the streets sooner. We need to be tough on crime, not coddle these inmates. Solitary confinement is a necessary tool to keep order and protect both inmates and guards. This bill is a huge mistake and needs to be stopped before it's too late.
