Morning Shift: Criminologists debate the efficacy of mandatory sentencing


What they should discuss, is the fact this abomination is a republican brain fart that was intended to do nothing but imprison minorities at a higher rate then White counterparts. Just look at the numbers since this brain fart went into effect across the country.

There should be no difference in sentencing when cocaine is the main ingredient of crack. Why such a disparity? Look at the incarceration rates between Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics. Why would you give a slap on the wrist sentence for a known gang member, with an illegally obtained firearm, and no sentence whatsoever for the straw buyer? These two are both federal offenses. So please include in your "Debate", the real reason this brain fart went into effect across the country.
