#5 ..and tame the growing racial disparities within the prison population.

Don't do the crime, don't do the time. Once again, addressing the symptoms, not the underlying social pathology that created and sustains the behavior.

#7 Emptying prisons so they've got space for anti-citizen criminals AKA tea partiers.

#10 I'm OK with this. There isn't enough room for the hard-core types already, and the prisons are already letting them out early due to over crowding. And some of these that they're referring to might be those arrested for crack and doing more time than posession of regular powdwer cocaine.

#11 So are they going to let the white and brown crack users free? How about the white and brown cocaine users they compare against. Or is this just a racist president promoting racist policies?

#12 Tex- I seriously doubt their definition of nonviolent has much, if anything, to with the violence of the crime and everything to do with the race of the prep. This is Eric 'we will not prosecute my people' holder and his boss.

#13 A lot of the "non-violent" types are probably pleaded down from violent crimes because the prosecution had difficulty getting eye-witness testimony, and the defense worried about the possibility of new evidence or testimony showing up. So they made a deal. What I'd love to have passed into law is every government official has to house the worst parolees in his home for 5 years, as a kind of halfway house - reform via osmosis, as it were.
