War On Drugs Releases 8 Hostages
This month, President Obama commuted the sentences of 8 prisoners convicted of crack-cocaine possession. The unfair and unjust penalties set for possessing crack-cocaine was implemented in the eighties to combat the growing crack epidemic in America's metropolises. The majority of the "War On Drug's" casualties were African-American men who found themselves facing much harsher prison sentences than their Caucasian counterparts caught with a comparable amount of cocaine. The difference between the two drugs? Baking Soda.
Right now, many people of all races are incarcerated for crack-cocaine possession, a crime which is better remedied with treatment rather than punishment.There are many more than the 8 sentences President Obama commuted that are in need of the same action. Our nation's prisons are over capacity due to such lopsided sentencing laws.
If you or someone you know has been arrested, accused, sentenced or incarcerated for drug possession of any kind, contact Massachusetts Criminal Defense Attorney Paul R. Moraski at (978) 744-1200 immediately for a consultation. Your freedom depends on it.
