Resources are anything that has utility and adds value to your life. Air, water, food, plants, animals, minerals, metals, and everything else that exists in nature and has utility to mankind is a ‘Resource’. The value of each such resource depends on its utility and other factors. For example, metals are gold, silver, copper or bronze have economic value; i.e. they can be exchanged for money. However, mountains, rivers, sea or forests are also resources but they do not have economic value
Based on this excerpt, there are several different arguments to be made against mandatory minimum sentencing laws. These include:
1) Limits the judges ability to take into account unique circumstances- As it discusses in the excerpt, mandatory minimums leave the judges powerless in the sense that they cannot give a shorter sentence than the federally prescribed amount of years. Even if a judge wants to have a shorter sentence for a first time or second time offender of a non violent crime, he/she does not have the legal ability to do so.
2) Money- Mandatory minimums ensure that individuals are kept in the prison system for a significant amount of time. Considering that prisons are funded by tax payer money, this shows that this type of mandatory minimum policy we have right now will result in a lot of taxpayer money going towards jails rather than other areas of society.
