Reply To: can someone explain to me the criminal justice proposal?

This will limit sentences for nonviolent crimes such as drug possession (not manufacturing or sales of larger quantities). It is also directed at white collar financial crimes, sentences will be shortened or eliminated. It will also eliminate 10 year mandatory minimum sentences for some crimes, domestic violence, possession and transport of weapons of mass destruction, Sections 202 thru 212 are already addressed in prior legislation, rules, policies and procedures. Some argue it may impact sentencing under RICO. Congress dot gov has the full text of S.1917 for those that would prefer to read the actual bill rather than rely on the interpretation of others.
