    It's insane when someone who commits murder is serving less time than someone with drug charges. The law needs to be changed! Young black men are being targeted more than white males also.

    Change the law for non-violent offenders to serve 65% of their time instead of 85%. Too much time is being giving to non-violent offenders. Most get more time than the person that killed, raped, molested, etc and it's not fair. I agree. This law should change for the federal inmates, to let the hurting families will soon receive their loved ones.

    enough is enough there must be a background check on the public defenders that give legal help to inmates facing prison time. It is known that leaders to the prison influx are handling court hearings and inmates being railroad to prison. while these leaders make a profit.
