Trump policies

Does Sessions "Lock them up" policy work? Uhm, nope:

States have been running a live experiment of sorts on this over the past several years, reforming their criminal justice systems to, in short, punish people less punitively and incarcerate them for shorter periods of time for low-level offenses. Supporters of mass incarceration, such as the Trump administration and particularly Attorney General Jeff Sessions, have warned that these changes would lead to more crime.
But over the past few years, we’ve actually seen the opposite. Take this chart from Adam Gelb at Pew Charitable Trusts, which advocates for criminal justice reform, that shows crime has continued to fall even as states have reduced their prison populations:

We don’t need mass incarceration to keep people safe. This chart proves it. - Vox

But can that be a surprise for a government which has banned 'evidence based' as a term not to be used?
