Crack vs Powder

The government finally overturned this law.
The current guidelines would have put a min in jail for 22 years for crack. It would take 100 times that amount in powder for the same sentence. Talk about racial. This is infratructure style. This is what put so many of us in jail during the late 80s and 90s. This is how they reacted to crack. They locked everyone up instead of solving the problem, or even stopping the Iran Contra coke that started the epidemic. Locking everyone up to deter them from a problem does not fix the problem. It only postpones the inevitable.
