Attorney General Jeff Sessions: 'We don't have a sentencing problem, we have a crime problem'

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Thursday criminal justice reformers should focus on stopping crime instead of making reforms to the sentencing process.

"I'm afraid we don't have a sentencing problem, we have a crime problem. If we want to bring down our prison population then we should bring down crime," Sessions told a group of sheriffs in Oklahoma.

The remarks come on the heels of a letter written by law enforcement leaders urging him and President Trump to get on board with bipartisan criminal justice reform.
