In this June 15, 2017 photo, a bipartisan group of lawmakers surround Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards as he signs 10 criminal justice bills into law during a ceremony in Baton Rouge, La. Hundreds of inmates are about to get early releases from Louisiana prisons and jails, a milestone in a push to reduce the nation’s highest incarceration rate. The early release of roughly 1,500 inmates on Nov. 1 is the product of a new package of laws overhauling the state’s criminal justice system. (AP Photo/R.J. Rico)
