I am hopeful that justice will soon become more swift and much more certain. We passed the Violent Criminal Incarceration Act which provides resources to States for prison construction and also contained truthinsentencing provisions intended to make convicted criminals serve more of their prison terms that they are given. We passed the Criminal Alien Deportation Improvements Act which strengthens our ability to deal with aliens who are convicted of serious crimes while they are in the United States. It is a shocking fact that our Federal prisons now hold more than 25 percent nonU.S. citizens. Since 1980 the number of alien inmates has skyrocketed 600 percent.
