He Spent 14 Years in Prison. Here’s Why He’s Fighting For Criminal Justice Reform

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

Louis Reed spent nearly 14 years in prison on bank fraud and other charges.

Since then, he has become an advocate for criminal justice reform and supported the First Step Act, a bipartisan measure to improve criminal justice outcomes, which was signed into law by then-President Donald Trump in December 2018.

Reed joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to share his story and his vision for how Democrats and Republicans can work together on criminal justice reform, despite the toxic political climate.

We also cover these stories:

  • The Senate votes 64-35 to confirm Jennifer Granholm, the former governor of Michigan, to head the Department of Energy.
  • Mr. Potato Head goes gender neutral in name! Hasbro, the company that makes the beloved potato shaped toy, is removing the “Mr.” from the toys' packaging.
  • Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., at a Senate committee hearing Thursday, questions Rachel Levine, President Joe Biden’s nominee to be assistant health secretary, on medical treatment for children with gender dysphoria.
