Lots of stuff I agree and disagree with in Washington these days. This is one I agree with.
Eric Holder is trying to get rid of mandatory minimum sentences in our drug laws. Its a good thing. We are in a time in society where police budgets are being slashed all over the country. So are jails, which are often run by sheriffs departments. And so are federal jails and agencies.
This will result in fewer prisoners, meaning less money needed for jails and jail officers.
This will result in less money and time being spent on the drug war, meaning the smaller than before police departments can focus their limited resources on other more violent crimes.
This will result in both more free people, while enabling smaller budgets for PD's and jails to be adequate for their new, smaller mission.
Good move.
