The Vice President expressed to the participants that she believed in this “Repayment.”
The former prosecutor continued: “…everyone makes mistakes, and for some it can reach the point of being a crime.”
Harris asked rhetorically whether society should allow convicts to do this “Earn your way back” And “Give them the support and resources they need to do this.”
