Between the U.S. Senate and the U.S. attorney’s Office, there’s optimism and news about drug sentencing.  The Senate passed a bill with three key provisions:  make crack cocaine sentencing provisions for drugs retroactive; cut mandatory/minimum in half; and grant judges discretion.  Then Eric Holder appealed to the pubic and all state bars to forward names/cases that need reviewing for pardons.  Amazing!  Let’s hope these two acts, together, allow many inmates to get out and get new lives.
