    Mandatory Minimum Sentences Pros And Cons

    Rough Draft Fifty-five years without possibility of parole. That is what Weldon Angelos is facing for selling a total of $350 worth of marijuana, and carrying a firearm; even though, he has no criminal history and never fired the gun. This is all due to laws called mandatory minimum sentences (MMS); which are sentences that are determined by the weight of the drugs or the presence of a firearm during a felony offense. They are called mandatory because judges are forced to impose these sentences based solely on the amount of drug present without any leniency. The mandatory minimum prison sentences are a controversial way to fight the “War on Drugs” that have a conflicted history and have drastically increased prison populations and costs.…

    Should First Time Convicted DUI Drivers Receive Mandatory Jail Time?

    In America there are 233 billion trips in cars each year. Out of those, every two thousand trips are taken by those who are driving under the influence of alcohol or better known as DUI (MADD, 2014). An estimate of one-third of DUI cases that end in crashes, deaths, arrests, and injuries, comes from repeated offenders. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, in 2012 about 29.1 million people admitted to driving under the influences of alcohol, that’s more than the population of Texas. Driving under the influence is the cause of dangerous roads in America. Driving drunk can be prevented, simply by not getting behind a wheel while drinking, but those who still decide to drink and drive should be harsh fully punish. Drivers convicted of a first- time DUI should receive mandatory jail time.…

    Importance Of Equity In Sentencing

    The Federal Drug Abuse Act of 1986 created the guidelines for statutory mandatory minimum penalties currently effective in the federal drug trafficking crimes and also established a 100-to-1 drug quantities ratio between crack and powdered cocaine offenses for sentencing purposes. (Frank Schmalleger, 2007) This ratio was based on the assumption that crack cocaine is more dangerous than powdered cocaine, it is less expensive and may lead to violent crimes and addiction of youths and children. All drug addictions including prescription, present an enormous and difficult problem to contain. The difference in sentencing under the current law for possession of five grams of crack cocaine is a minimum mandatory sentence of five years in prison, possession of any quantity of other controlled substance by a first offender yields a maximum of one year in prison. I do not believe that this is justice.…

    Argumentative Essay On Legalizing Marijuana

    The misdemeanor of possession of marijuana includes up to a one year sentence in prison, two-thousand dollar fine and suspended driver's license of persons convicted of this offense for up to ninety days. On the other hand, a felony of possession of marijuana includes a prison sentence of one year and a day up to ten days and a maximum fine up to five-thousand dollars . Sentences including formal probation may also be used in misdemeanor marijuana cases. This can have important implications for a student who is looking for summer or permanent employment outside the mobile area. Regular reporting to a probation officer and random drug screening, along with fees and costs, can make finding or keeping a job difficult. Many job applications require applicants to report any arrests on their record; failure to disclose this information on an application can lead to further legal problems between the student and an employer. Possession of a controlled substance may become a trafficking charge if the drugs weigh enough. Marijuana is classified as a schedule I drug on the basis that is has a high potential for abuse. Marijuana then begins to dominate the user's life. It happens to be that alcohol is perfectly legal but marijuana is not. Alcohol can be twice as deadly as marijuana but if that's the case then why is it not illegal? Marijuana and alcohol should be illegal in most…
