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.

This was a 2003 article that i found about the Thailand government trying to crackdown drug trafficking. When the campaign began to track down these criminal 596 were killed, and more than 720 government officials were being investigated because they were suspected of having something to do with drug trafficking. They estimated that 2,500 were killed on the 3 month journey to capture everyone that was involve in drug trafficking. They also stated that as much as 1,400 were killed and weren't even involved with drugs. I believe that too many people were killed i believe they should have only arrested them.

This video shows a high case between the coast guards and drug traffickers. The drug traffickers were using sub marines to ship the drugs. A new method they are using to ship tons of drugs to the United States. I believe that this is very creative and the extent that they go to get drugs from one place to another amazes me.

This is a video talks about the problems that are happening in Mexico. Trying to figure out methods to deal with the issue from drug war to dealing with drug trafficking.
I belive that people who are involved in the drug business have improve their technology greatly making it difficult for police to track them down. This video is an example of how they are taking things to the next level(using submarie).

Colombian Cartels
Ever since the 1970’s, Colombia on of the most violent drug trafficking organizations in the world. What simply started as a small cocaine business of smuggling drug has become an uncontrollable multi-million empire. This organization has become sophisticated and more high tech to make more money and to keep authorities away.
The way in which they became more high tech was hiring and engineering expert from Russia and the US to build submarine to drugs in large quantities to the US. The submarines that carried tons of illegal drugs was found by the Colombian national police.
The reason why drug dealers would smuggle drugs to the US was because they bought a kilo for 1,500 in Colombia they would sell in the streets of the US for $50,000. The profit was more then half of what they originally paid for.

This article truly shocked me because the drug business is increasing their technology and even involving people who work for the government in their organization like police officers. They have upgraded their drug trafficking business so much that they built a submarine to ship their materials drugs and weapons. How extreme is that?
Opinion Post
Do you think the Mexican authority is working hard to stop the drug wars, and the violent that comes from drug trafficking?
do you think the U.S is doing enough to prevent drugs from entering the American streets and harming those we love? the issues that are happening in Mexico are not just effecting those in the Mexican community but everyone worldwide.i was amused when i was sitting at home reading an article about the wars in Mexico between the authority and drug cartels more then 45 people a day are dying in this one area where the drug dealing is heavy. An organization known as Sicarios have assassin more then 300 people including officers and important people who made a differences in their communities.
This is unbelievable because he killed innocent people that deserve to live their life but he felt superior to all this people and felt he had the power to take their life, well that how reading this article made me feel. He had tons of money because of the drug business. Imagine how overwhelm the Mexican government is feeling with this issue. they are trying to control it but this organization just seem to get more powerful.
Is the Mexican authority doing it all to prevent drug wars and the violence in the streets? I believe that they are working extremely hard to stop it or have it under control but they are becoming very powerful, and even some police officers and law enforcement are becoming involve with the drug cartels. So how hard is this issue to the Mexican government. Our government are also trying to make law to stop drugs from entering our communities but sometimes this law fail to do the task.
