• W841840783 abstract "I. INTRODUCTIONOn March 14, 2013, Ken Cuccinelli, the Attorney General of Virginia, took the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland. This was perhaps the most conservative attorney general in the country addressing the most conservative audience in the country. Over the course of a nearly twenty-minute speech, the attorney general lambasted the size of the national debt, reasserted his conviction that President Barack Obama's signature health care legislation was unconstitutional, and referred to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the Employment Prevention Agency.1 The audience applauded every one of these red meat lines. The crowd also broke into applause when Cuccinelli asked:[H]ow many times have I seen my fellow tough-on-crime conservatives be not merely willing, but excited, to lock up every convict and throw away the key? If we really believe that no one is beyond redemption, we need to stop throwing away that key! Conservatives should lead in changing the culture of corrections in America.2In these remarks at CPAC, Cuccinelli's support for corrections reform appeared to arise from a socially conservative impulse. Then, seven months later, Cuccinelli added a stark note of fiscal conservatism when he told the Washington Post, [t]here is an expectation that the generic Republican position is tough on crime . . . [b]ut even that has budget limits . . . .3 In both instances, Cuccinelli's comments were made in the thick of a closely contested and nationally prominent gubernatorial campaign.4 This suggests that he did not think he would pay a significant political price for his views.Cuccinelli's avid support for prison reform surprised some political observers,5 but his views are hardly unique among prominent right-leaning lawyers. Edwin Meese, the U.S. Attorney General under President Ronald Reagan, has advocated similar views.6 So too have Asa Hutchinson, former U.S. Attorney and Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration; Bill Bennett, former Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy; Larry Thompson, former U.S. Deputy Attorney General; and Viet Dinh, the Bush Administration lawyer who was the primary architect of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.7 All five are signatories to the Right on Crime Statement of Principles, a document that the Texas Public Policy Foundation developed in 2010 to articulate the position on criminal justice policy that is most consistent with the philosophical roots of conservative political and legal thought.8All of these individuals have been major figures in American law enforcement over the last three decades. None could plausibly be called soft on crime. Nor could any of the non- lawyer signatories-for example, Jeb Bush, Newt Gingrich, Grover Norquist, and J.C. Watts9-be called soft on crime.The idea that conservatives are ideologically committed to mass incarceration is-and always was-a caricature. American incarceration rates increased significantly in recent decades, and many on the right supported this increase, but conservative support for increased incarceration was linked to unique historical circumstances, not to any philosophical commitment.10 Moreover, while conservatives were correct in the early 1970s that some increase in incarceration was necessary to ensure that violent and dangerous offenders served significant prison terms, the sixfold increase in incarceration from the early 1970s to the mid-2000s reached many nonviolent, low-risk offenders.11 Now, as crime rates are declining, conservatives are increasingly focused on developing policies that prioritize using limited prison space to house violent offenders while looking for alternative sanctions to hold nonviolent offenders accountable, restore victims, and protect public safety.12 In generating and advocating these policies, conservatives are returning to first principles: skepticism of state power, insistence on government accountability, and concern for how public policy affects social norms. …" @default.
