What do you think should be done with mandatory minimum sentencing law​

English

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.

777dan777 [17]
I love that poem, what he means is nothing good can stay, it will fad or disappear, after a wile. hence why he said this
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
and it means, when fall comes the leafs will fall, "maybe a flower but not more that an hour".

Adverb phrase in "Parvo is a common disease in dogs caused by a virus in the air."
Lady_Fox [76]
The correct answer here is "in the air". This phrase acts as an adverb of place as it describes where the virus is located. These phrases can modify a verb, adverb and adjectives and tells us more information about them like in this example "where" something is. They can also tell us about "how" or "when" or "why".
