Highlighting GOP leaders' notable new essays on criminal justice reform

As reported in this prior post, the Brennan Center for Justice today released this fascinating new publication titled "Solutions: American Leaders Speak Out on Criminal Justice" composed of essays by over twenty high-profile politicians and policy-advocates.  I find especially interesting and important the essays authored by GOP leaders because many members of the Republican Party have, generally speaking, until recently been less likely to vocally advocate for nationwide criminal justice reforms.  For that reason, I thought it worthwhile here to provide links just to those Solutions article authored by seven GOP leaders (going in alphabetical order):

• Save Jail for the Dangerous authored by Chris Christie, Governor of New Jersey

• Reduce Federal Crimes and Give Judges Flexibility authored by Ted Cruz, United States Senator for Texas

• Treat Drug Addiction and Address Character authored by Mike Huckabee, Former Governor of Arkansas

• Restore Fairness in Sentencing authored by Rand Paul, United States Senator for Kentucky

• Follow the Texas Model authored by Rick Perry, Former Governor of Texas

• A Step Toward Freedom: Reduce the Number of Crimes authored by Marco Rubio, United States Senator for Florida

• Get People Ready for Work authored by Scott Walker, Governor of Wisconsin
