Biden faces criticism for not extending home confinement for prisoners
| President Biden is under fire for not announcing an extension of a home confinement program for prisoners that was started during the coronavirus pandemic.
Progressives and criminal justice advocates have pressured the administration for months to rescind a Trump-era policy that kills the program when the pandemic ends. They are frustrated that Biden’s remarks this week didn’t address it, warning that it could impact Biden’s legacy on crime. |
