clark who is on the streets every day. former attorney general ken cuccinelli of virginia. then pat nolan with acu.justice reform. he's been on all sides of it and has been an advocate for many people that have been caught within the system. so how we're going to do this is i'm going to open it up, everyone is going to have an opening statement, if you will, of how as conservatives we should approach criminal justice reform or does the system not need to be reformed at all. so sheriff clark, take the first stab at this. >> thank you. good afternoon. folks, you're not being told the truth when it comes to this criminal justice reform and sentencing reform. i call it the three lies of criminal justice reform, the three big lies. the first lie is that this will only involve low-level non-violent offenders. that makes up such a small portion of the prison population, either at the state or federal level. you would barely put a dent in the prison population if you just stuck with low-level -- true low-level non-violent offenders. lie number two, that it will reduce crime. you're smarter than that. okay?
