Summarizing Comment

The fairness in cocaine sentencing act 2009 was to try to control the number of people that are incarcerated. The policy that Jim web tired to pass was to eliminate penalties for cocaine offenses. The reason why he states that everyone should support this policy he also said that more than 1 million cartels and gang members are in jail.. Five percent of the world’s population 25% is reported to be in prison. The number of people in jail has increased greatly, and it is known for time as many people who are mentally ill are in prison instead of a mentally ill hospital.
Those who support this are the Obama’s administration and the democratic and republican party. This is a way to deal with the injustices of the jail system. When people are given maximum sentences when they come out in society they are not capable of function correctly in society because many jobs reject them, and in many cases they are not capable of doing things others can.
He believes that they should be punished but that they should be given probation first like a warning and then give them prison time but not the maximum sentences. I believe that we should all promote this idea and support it along with Obama’s administration and Senator Arlen Specter to fix the system. There are millions of people in jail for crime that are not that serious that is why he believes that they should be an overview in how long people should get for the crime they do.
I also believe that they should go over the cases of those who are already incarcerated and see if the court gave them the correct jail sentences. The reason I say this is because I know someone who is incarcerated for procession of a criminal weapon on third degree, robbery second degree and was given a go see so that the court can consider for early release on the year 2056 and if they do decide on releasing him he would be given parole for his entire life. I believe that is an injustice committed on an individual even though I believe he should serve jail time that sentences was too extreme and I believe that many people can agree with me on this.
