POLICY ISSUE Mandatory minimum sentencing is a judicial po.docxstilliegeorgiana
ย
POLICY ISSUE
Mandatory minimum sentencing is a judicial policy in the United States that requires
judges to punish certain crimes with an absolute minimum period of time in prison, regardless of
circumstance (USSC, 1991). The 1980s and 1990s have been classified as the โtough on crimeโ
era in regards to US criminal justice legislation and then-criminal justice reform. Anti-drug
sentiment was pervasive throughout the country, with highly visible and expensive advertising
campaigns directed for anti-drug causes. The campaigns were one aspect of a multi-faceted
blitzkrieg on the increasing incidence of drug trafficking throughout the United States,
particularly crack cocaine. In addition, mandatory minimum sentencing was instated during the
Reagan administration, primarily to address the perceived crack and greater drug epidemic,
expanding throughout the next decade. It was a popular issue that crossed party lines, being
embraced by the Republican Reagan and Bush administrations, and continuing with the
Democratic Clinton administration in the 1990s; by 1994 mandatory minimums were enforced in
31 states and Washington, DC (Baker, 2018).
PUBLIC POLICY
Mandatory minimum sentencing is covered under the Regulatory public policy as this
type of policy limits the actions of people in order to protect the general public. In order to
protect the general public - the people of the United States, mandatory minimums were
introduced as a means to control or stymie โdangerous criminalsโ.
POLICY MODIFICATION
One revision to this policy I would introduce would be the elimination of mandatory
minimum sentencing for non-violent drug offenses. I believe this would positively impact this
policy because currently the state and federal prisons are overcrowded, partly due to those
incarcerated for lengthy prison sentences for drug charges. Individuals sentenced to prison time
for drug offenses should have their cases re-evaluated and determined on a case-by-case basis
versus on a standard nationwide scale. When the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 was initiated, the
new polices were not said to be retroactive and only applied to new cases. Many of those who
are currently incarcerated would not receive the same sentences if their cases were tried in court
today. I do not believe a one size fits all policy is conducive to fixing the overall drug problems
in the U.S.
A second modification to this policy I would introduce would be the re-instatement of
judicial power and discretion. Mandatory minimum sentencing essentially removes the
discretion of judges from the equation when it comes to sentencing. Judges should have the
power to veto certain sentencing standards, but with mandatory minimums their hands are tied.
Again, each case should be judged and evaluated individually and not on a national standardized
scale.
If the U.S. were to issue commutations to all prisoners incarcerate ...

THE CSA CREATED MODERN SLAVERY
How the Controlled Substance Act Created
a New Form of Modern Slavery
The CSA is over 50 years old and created a modern slavery archetype
Posted by:
Reginald Reefer on Wednesday Feb 16, 2022
For those who have been reading my work for the past couple of years โ I have always held the position that prohibition
is a terrible government policy. I mean, if it didnโt work for God in the garden of Eden, then why do we think it would
work for man? Nonetheless, itโs something that weโre still contending with today despite the fact that 37 States have

legalized cannabis in some form at the time of writing this article.
However, I have recently come to the conclusion that the Controlled Substance Act is not only a policy of prohibition of
drugs but rather the control and enslavement of people. This is due to a little thing known as the 13th Amendment
where it clearly states;
Section 1
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly
convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. โ SOURCE: US Constitution

Perhaps the CSA wasnโt originally drafted as a means of turning free citizens into slaves. This may not have been its
initial purpose โ but in application, this is exactly what it had become.ย Currently the Controlled Substance Act functions
as a means for the pharmaceutical industry to maintain a monopoly on all drugs.
This I spoke about in a previous article. However, the fact of the matter that the prohibition of drugs makes all drug
users essentially criminals mean that the policy that is meant to โprotect the people from drugsโ is actually an excuse to
turn people into slaves โ at least in a legal and constitutional sense.
When we look at the history of incarceration, this seems to corroborate the idea. According to Drug Policy Facts,
Forty-six percent of prisoners sentenced to federal prison were serving time for a drug offense (more than 99% for drug
trafficking) on September 30, 2019, the most recent date for which such data are available
This is in relation to federal prison statistics. When it comes to State prison statistics;
The US Dept. of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that at yearend 2018 there were 1,249,700 sentenced people in
state prisons in the US, of whom 176,300 (14.1%) had as their most serious offense a drug charge: 46,500 for drug possession
(3.7%) and 129,900 for "other" drug offenses, including manufacturing and sale (10.4%).
These people, some of them โdrug traffickersโ โ meaning they have been legally turned into a slave according to the US
Constitution. Surely, some of you might think โ drug traffickers should be in jail! Except, according to the federal
government, drug trafficking can be anything from simple possession as CriminalDefenseLawyer.com explains;
Under the federal statutes, the term "trafficking" has a specific meaning, one that is substantially different than the term's
common usage. A person commits the crime of drug trafficking when manufacturing, distributing, dispensing, or possessing
with the intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense any amount of a prohibited narcotic.
In other words, under the federal sentencing guidelines, the term "trafficking" is one that applies to situations that many
people might view as possession.
(21 U.S.C. section 841)

Why donโt they call it mere possession? Simple โ people would be outraged over a fifteen year prison sentence for mere
possession, but call it drug trafficking and those bastards can rot in a cell! Language is a powerful tool when wielded
with malice.
But Reginald โ prisoners arenโt slaves!
While this is technically true, there is no legal mechanism in place where you can force an inmate to work, prisons can
coerce prisoners to do labor for pennies on the hour.
Just like this;
Prisoners are not โforced to workโ per say, they are given an incentive to go to work.
When you get to prison (in Arkansas anyway) you are considered Class II. You will be given a job on the โHoe Squadโ and are
expected to do that job for 2 months before you are granted Class I.
If you choose to not go to work you will be busted down to Class III and given some restrictions; no phone or store.
If you continue to not go to work you will be busted down to Class IV where you get no privileges at all; no store, phone or
visits. You also do not generate any good time at Class IV.
So, if you want to flatten your time, (or you have a life sentence with no family to come see you or put money on your books)
then not going to work isnโt an issue.
Most inmates do go to work so they can get out of prison sooner rather than later.
Going to work also has the advantage of making your time go by faster because you are constantly busy. If you are just sitting
on your ass in the barracks, your time will creep by. So, going to work makes life in prison a little bit easier to cope with. โ Don

https://cannabis.net/blog/opinion/how-the-controlled-substance-act-created-a-new-form-of-modern-slavery 7/16
Of course, from a prisonerโs perspective โ work most definitely has its advantages as explained by Don. However, what
does work entail? In Arkansas that would be a minimum of $0.0 per hour with a maximum of $0.0 per day according to
PrisonPolicy.org (https://www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2017/04/10/wages/)
The same brief highlighted the following;
The average of the minimum daily wages paid to incarcerated workers for non-industry prison jobs is now 86 cents, down from
93 cents reported in 2001. The average maximum daily wage for the same prison jobs has declined more significantly, from
$4.73 in 2001 to $3.45 today.ย
This means that despite the beneficial incentives for prisoners to get to work โ the government, and in many cases
private institutions utilize this labor to make goods, which they sell to government agencies. In fact, according to
โCorporate Accountability Labโ there are over 4100 corporations that profit from mass incarceration.
According to the same organization;
Around 63,000 inmates produce goods for external sale. Some of these goods are destined for government agencies, and some
for the private market. Prison industries jobs range from farm work and manufacturing to call center and distribution services.
Every state, except for Alaska, has a state-governed prison industries initiative, and the federal government runs a separate
program, Federal Prison Industries (trading as UNICOR). - SOURCE
(https://corpaccountabilitylab.org/calblog/2020/8/5/private-companies-producing-with-us-prison-labor-in-2020-prison-
labor-in-the-us-part-ii): Corporate Accountability Lab
And this is where it all comes together, how many prisoners are incentivized to work for mere pennies per day due to
drug trafficking aka possession charges? While this system is not technically or legally โslaveryโ โ within all standards of
ethicsโฆitโs slavery.
Therefore I conclude that the Controlled Substance Act โ a document that prohibits people from โholding a substance
on their personโ, which they would consume exercising the full autonomy of their body - a legal mechanism to turn the
average Jane and Joe into state or federally owned slaves.

The only sane thing we can do as a civilized society is to abolish this slavers agreement once and for all and rethink how
we deal with the relationship between people and drugs. Itโs been more than fifty years of the Nixon inspired โWar on
Drugsโ where a hardline of prohibition has led all policy decisions.
Perhaps, itโs time to accept that, โWe the Peopleโ like to get a bit crunked-up every now and then and that itโs completely
okay. Itโs much more effective to control the drugs than it is to prohibit them, and if you tax recreational drug use like
any other recreational substance โ the problem would essentially fund the only solution that would have ever worked โ
education, harm reduction, supply chain management, purity controls.
All Iโm saying is โ โIf men can menstruateโ then shouldnโt we all be able to do some acid every now and then? ย
