Ever wonder why murderers, serial rapists, and child molesters walk free after serving only a few months?
Well, here's why.
The system has to make room for the people who continue to receive life sentences for drug offenses under the feds' draconian mandatory sentencing rules.
A Cincinnati man was just sentenced to life in federal prison for drugs under these mandatory sentencing guidelines. He's only 29. For the next 50 years, he's going to be taking up prison space that could be used for violent criminals instead. Violent thugs will be freed to make room for him.
And this man's life is basically over at 29 now. Yes, 29. He's in prison for life - while murderers walk free. Do you really think that's fair?
The botched War on Drugs is actually the best friend of society's most feared criminals.
