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

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.

Dear Josh,

You would never believe what happened last week in our small county here. Top Hollywood stars raided our town to film a movie blockbuster!

I couldn't believe it. I saw Tom Hanks, Angelina Jolie, Leonardo DI Caprio, and many more stars. The whole town was excited and we could barely hold our excitement. The coffee shop was buzzing, everywhere was absolutely electric.

From rumor going round, it appears that they are filming a science fiction movie. Can you imagine the absolute scenes!!!!!! Of course., I know they would use CGI to change the appearance, but it is a landmark for our town.

I also heard that they were hiring some locals to be a part of some crowd stuff that would just be in the background and look menacing or something. Tom, Jim, and Mike went yesterday to see if they could get a slot.

There were drones, big film making stuff and the likes, lights, action and so on. Man, I wish you were here to witness this, yourself. Well, I got you covered, I'll take some pictures for you.

                                                                                            Yours faithfully,

                                                                                            Rani
