Bush is
expected to sign the bll tomorrow...probably because it includes key elements of his Prisoner Reentry Initiative:
Quote:
In his 2004 State of the Union, President Bush proposed “a four-year, $300 million prisoner re-entry initiative to expand job training and placement services, to provide transitional housing, and to help newly released prisoners get mentoring, including from faith-based groups.”

I would have preferred keeping faith based groups out of it, but as long as they dont require sitting through a sermon in order to benefit from the program, it works for me.
