“The answer is not to eliminate the only deterrence you have which is the predictability of prosecution. True reform is not a narrative to win an election.” ROC Exec Dir @tolmanbrett tells @FoxNews @dagenmcdowell

ROC Executive Director Brett Tolman talks with FOX News Jesse Watters about decades of precedent and the legal Greg areas of the FBI. Tolman says, “Few understand that the FBI can lie to you. You can’t lie to them. Thanks @JesseBWatters for having me on and for a lively discussion.”

Prosecutors review the facts, decide charges, and determine how a case will resolve. If infused with the unmitigated ability to influence the outcome by a mandatory minimum sentence, the prosecutor also determines the defendant’s sentencing fate. Simply put, prosecutors are the most powerful actor within the criminal justice system, and their power continues to grow. While crime rates have declined over the decades, news headlines underscore the significant rise in violent crime driving fear across the nation. In many cities, rogue prosecutors who think they’re above the rule of law are implementing blanket policies which violate their oath of office and compromise prosecutorial ethics. Right On Crime’s Prosecutorial innovation in America supports prosecutors willing to think outside the normal prosecutorial box with common-sense and data-driven innovations which reduce crime and recidivism but never compromise public safety. A risk-based approach which strengthens the Rule of Law is essential to conservative criminal justice reform. Prosecutorial Innovation in America will connect conservative and innovative prosecutors while examining the successes of conservative District Attorneys across the nation. New programs or ideas may trigger skepticism and criticism directed at an elected prosecutor, but innovative approaches to prosecution with evidence-based success must be amplified and shared with those resistant to changing broken aspects of our criminal justice system. Conservatives must hold government accountable, increase transparency, support the health of the family, protect civil liberties, advance freedom, and demand that every tax dollar spent on a justice system prove beneficial to public safety. Americans must make criminal justice a pillar issue with thoughtful, common sense reforms that reduce crime and recidivism to keep communities safe.

A dynamic group of corrections professionals and thought leaders sharing best practices and expertise in criminal justice policy. While prisons serve a critical role in society and violent criminals must be held to account, our correctional facilities- already overcrowded and short-staffed- must make room and prepare those in custody for the day they return to our communities. Eventually, 95% will return. From sentencing to programming to recidivism reduction, join us as the Correctional Leadership Network at Right On Crime explores one of our nation’s most understudied but important public institutions. Never compromising public safety, while improving policies affecting our correctional industry and our criminal justice system. Our Host: Scott Peyton, Correctional Director for Right On Crime
