Governor Wolf joined with Senator Greenleaf and Secretary John Wetzel on Thursday to outline a package of eight criminal justice reforms. These reforms are long overdue and will help to provide consistency and uniformity in the system.
The debate about how we can fix our criminal justice system is complicated, and over time that debate has changed to reflect the modern realities and issues present in our system,” Governor Wolf said. “I believe that we can improve the criminal justice system, so that we can protect victims while also ending a cycle of incarceration that has left so many people feeling trapped, helpless and without an opportunity to return to society after they have been released.”
