I'm Confused

The "prison reform" legislation that is being pushed in DC at the moment includes leniency in the form of early release for a variety of people convicted of federal crimes.  One of the group to whom leniency would be given under the legislation consists of felons convicted of creating or selling child pornography.  To be clear, anyone convicted more than once of crimes concerning child pornography would be ineligible for help, but first time offenders would get early release.

This is confusing.  Who is it who is pushing for the release of child pornographers and why would the GOP or the President agree to that?  There simply is no constituency in the GOP for child pornography.  I doubt there's much of one in the Democrat party either.  So I ask again, who is pushing for this goal of early release for purveyors of kiddie porn?

This needs to be fixed or the bill needs to be defeated.
