As someone who hopes to work with the criminal justice system some day, this is good news.

Me too, bb!

[queenweasley]

Awesome! What do you hope to do?

I'm actually thinking of going into law enforcement, which my parents really disapprove of, haha. :/ They'd rather I become a paralegal or something but idk. I really want to have a job where I'm helping people.

This is very, very, very, good.

I really, really hope that he's not just being coy and will actually seriously consider how many people are in jail for non-violent drug offenses, esp. marijuana. Decriminalization of marijuana would be the first concrete example of 21st century thinking by our government. I hope I live to see this.
