Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin's Christian faith teaches him that whatever he has done to the least of these, he has done unto God. Yet this year, he subjected "the least of these" to an act of abject cruelty, dashing the hopes of thousands of Virginia's most forgotten by reneging on a promise made two years earlier. That promise would have allowed many incarcerated people in the Department of Corrections to be released just a little bit early, provided they remained on perfect behavior and completed all programming offered to them. But in June, at Youngkin's urging, this Earned Sentence Credit law (ESC) was largely repealed, two weeks before taking effect. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
