    Senators, our judicial system is imposing terms of imprisonment for non- violent offendors that are way too long. Please pass S. 1060 to help integrate them back into society. Mothers, fathers brothers, Sisters and children that are incarcerated. Please pass this bill and look at further criminal justice reform such as reinstating parole in the federal system
