That is a point of shame for us and it needs to be fixed,\u201d said Gov. Kathy Hochul. \u201cAnd it\u2019s going to be fixed today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hochul ordered the release of 191 Riker\u2019s Island Prison inmates as she advances new criminal justice reforms in her state. She announced they had served their sentences under the dictates of the new Less is More Act and argued they shouldn\u2019t have to wait until the enactment date.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the Democrat ordered the releases while also signing the Less is More Act into law. Hochul explained the point of the new act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Less is More Act advances critical reforms to make our criminal justice a better and fairer institution. And what we\u2019re going to do is bolster our due process and have speedier hearings.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I was so grateful to join <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovKathyHochul?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GovKathyHochul<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewYorkLtGov?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NewYorkLtGov<\/a>, my fellow DAs, lawmakers and advocates for the signing of the Less Is More Act into law.
