"Nine years ago, @BarackObama signed into law my Fair Sentencing Act, a compromise bill which dramatically lowered the sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine. It was the first law to counter the war on drugs by reducing unfair federal drug sentences."

"Last year, President Trump signed into law another step forward to criminal justice reform, my First Step Act, which made the Fair Sentencing Act retroactive and has so far led to the release of 1,100 people who were serving unjust sentences for drug offenses."
