Rockefeller Law

MANDATORY SENTENCING AND ROCKEFELLER LAW



No one wants to promote and help a drug dealer – that is for sure. But with mandatory sentencing laws, such as the Rockefeller laws, there is no incentive for arrestees, who are addicted and possibly selling to feed their habit, to get effective treatment. They will receive the same penalty as the hard core drug dealer even if they get off drugs.



Once any arrestee who is an addict enters the system, the opportunity for returning to society drug free and productive is greatly diminished. Addiction is not something that you can usually punish a person out of but it does respond to effective drug treatment.



One would think that a Judge or a Jury could be wise enough to sentence appropriate for the crime and circumstances even as they are in murder.



As the drug problem seems to only be escalating, despite harsher and harsher measures, we are going to have to decide what we want in this country for ourselves and future generations.



We already have the highest rate of incarceration per capita in the world and our youth our drinking more and are more drugged up than their European counter parts.



Do you want more of the same? It is pretty expensive to support such a large population of prisoners, in more ways than one.



Learn the facts and speak up to your state representatives. After all, YOU are the one who is paying for all of this.



If you know someone who needs treatment, get them help before they get arrested. After that you will have no control over their destiny, no matter how much you may want to help them.
