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.

In the year 1819 the crew of the whaleship Essex drifted in the middle of the Pacific. The ship was capsized for 24 hours and now it was the time to take a decision ,to make a plan but they had very few options. The narrator Nathaniel Philbrick wrote that these men were just about as far from land as it was possible to be anywhere on Earth.
The nearest islands they could reach were the Marquesas Islands which was about 1,200 miles away from the ships position but then they have heard some frightening rumors about the island populated by cannibals. Another option was Hawaii, but the captain was afraid they’d be struck by severe storms. Now the last option was the longest, and the most difficult: to sail 1,500 miles due south in hopes of reaching a certain band of winds that could eventually push them toward the coast of South America.
Answer:
- The rise of aggressive nationalism among some of the nations defeated in World War I.
- The rise of communism in Soviet Russia, which was seen as a threat by many European nations.

Moreover, nationalism also became popular among many countries, and this led to the development of more aggressive and extreme fascist governments.
