"There's a lot we have left to do," said Holly Harris, a conservative and the executive director of the Justice Action Network, who pushed to pass the First Step Act.
According to the Prison Policy Initiative, the U.S. has the highest incarceration rate and the largest prison population worldwide, with about 2.3 million inmates.
"This is truly an American issue," Harris said. "When you're in prison you're locked in, but when you return to society, you're locked out. You're locked out of a productive life."
