WASHINGTON–(ENEWSPF)–May 7, 2013.  A new, bipartisan task force aimed at reducing the federal criminal code is a positive step toward breaking our country’s addiction to incarceration, said the American Civil Liberties Union today. The House Committee on the Judiciary Over-Criminalization Task Force of 2013, which is made up of five Republicans and five Democrats, will comb through the code and identify unnecessary and ineffective criminal statutes.
