Mandatory sentences have the effect of transferring sentencing power from judges to prosecutors. Prosecutors frequently threaten to bring charges carrying long mandatory minimum sentences and longer guidelines sentences. These threats are effective in scaring a defendant to plead guilty in exchange for a reduced sentence and to give up every factual and legal basis for a defense. As a result, every year at least 95 percent of federal drug defendants plead guilty. CJPF is pleased to have worked with the team that produced the movie, Incarcerating US, to reform mandatory minimums, as well as allies such as FAMM - Families Against Mandatory Minimums.
<em>By the time Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde had been written, Darwin had already published his theory on the evolution of man. This is very interesting because one of his major themes in the novel is ignoring the worst instincts of man. Dr. Jekyll represents what man is because of the pressures put onto us by society. He quotes that he is a philanthropist and well known in society because people have come to expect it from him. But his more instinctual side is bored of this do-gooder. And on some level, Dr. Jekyll wants to indulge in these instincts because of the need for pleasure. The question then appears itself though, would he want to indulge in these pleasures as much if the social requirements of men in the Victorian Era weren't as great? </em>
Hope this helps. :)
