Daily Discussion Blog Post: Recently, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the Justice Department will change the enforcement policies of the federal drug laws. Low-level non-violent drug offenders will likely not be charged with offenses that carry a mandatory minimum sentence in federal prisons. The War on Drugs (even at the federal level) dramatically impacted Blacks and Hispanics through a massive incarceration campaign. Is this Attorney General Holder's way of trying to right the "wrongs" of the last 30+ years? What do you think?
