Our sentencing reforms prevented the early release of over 550 inmates, violent inmates. That was just. In a single month, we secured 22 million to expand operation Ceasefire and to bring safety to our cities. We've made organized retail theft a felony. This is hitting criminals where it hurts. And as I've said before, if you can't do the time, then don't do the crime. Thanks to strong enforcement and smart reforms, Virginia is seeing real results. (07:13–07:17)
