She took over that job from Jared. I'm sure she's doing a fab job in his stead.

Headline: Trump and Kushner's Prison Reform Plan Not Expected to Reduce Sentences or Fix Prison Conditions

http://www.newsweek.com/trump-kushner-prison-reform-meeting-white-house-conservatives-reentry-777648


The session is only expected to include politicians and religious and nonprofit leaders from the right. It is not expected to include discussion on topics like prison conditions or sentencing reform.
