    My husband is serving 18 months because he got behind on his court costs and fines. The crime he is is in trouble for is a NON violent crime. I dont think it is fair for him serving 18 mos at 85% when a murderer can get out in 5 yrs!!!!!!!!

    There should be no mandatory minimums for non violent felons. In fact, in many cases there should be no prison time at all, only substantial restitution. Everyday state prison systems are releasing violent felons after serving a third of their time. The federal prison system is a huge racket, and the profits are in the billions of dollars annually.
