Answer:

Explanation:

Mandatory sentences have a general rule, a judge will decide the punishment once the trial is done.  This law came to stop drug crimes.  

The pros of this law are a way to stop drug distribution and prevent them from committing more drug crimes.  

But at the same time is unjust, and doesn’t allow for the judge to be flexible in the process of sentencing individuals, where in some cases they might be innocent.  

These sentencing laws are starting to fail, some lawmakers, and states begun to have other alternatives such as instead of jail, they are forced into treatment programs.  They are called drug court and they are more cost effective. And prevent once they are out of jail keep committing crimes.
