my fiance was sentenced at 17 yrs old and one of his charges was with a handgun. He has served 21yr on a 35 to life. This bill will help him to come home earlier. He was a young man and now he's a much mature adult. His family needs him.REPORT COMMENTS

By Rose We live in a world where the United States houses more prisoners than any other country in the world including China, and Russia. We must ask is it really justice? The U.S. is now home to a quarter of the worlds inmates, despite making up just 5 percent of the global population. There are about 2.4 million people incarcerated in the United States, at a cost of more than $80 billion a year to the tax payer. Why so high we might ask? Take Frank Rogers for example at the age of 27 years old he was arrested in Syracuse, New York for his involvement in a marijuana conspiracy. He was marched into a federal court house, accepted a plea deal by admitting his wrongs in exchange for a sentence of no more than 10 years. When it came time for sentencing the court decided that a sentence in excess of 18 years was appropriate. Should Mr. Rogers a non-violent drug offender rot for pot costing the tax payer over $504,000? According to the federal bureau of prisons, the average cost of incarceration is $28,893.40 per year. Under Franks plea deal the cost to incarcerate him would have been $288,934.00, now it is over $504.000. Society as a whole must question the cost associated with such steep sentences for non-violent drug offenders. These sentences like the one handed down to Rogers, gives no second chances, allows no early release when one demonstrates he has rehabilitated himself. The federal system has no parole. Individuals convicted of crimes should face sentences commensurate with their conduct enabling the Justice Department to use their limited resources more effectively. This system of over incarcerating our citizens has turned into a virus, consuming lives with a sweeping effect. When we deprive someone of their liberty and deal with the high cost of incarceration, it needs to solve a problem. In Frank Rogers case and many others just like it, such sentences don't solve the problem they only enhance it. How could we ever say we have a fair system that promotes justice? Reform must be had. NO REFORM, NO JUSTICE. . ...REPORT COMMENTS
