Happy Days!
The NY Times editorial team is announcing that their state is about to do away with the Rockefeller Laws that require mandatory sentencing for non-violent, low-level drug offenders. In a nation with the largest prison population in the world, its about time NY State got rid of those laws that have cost thousands of young people their lives to prison and set a dangerous precedent, not unlike Giuliani's "Broken-Windows Policing," that targets largely Black and Latino men.
What I'm not sure of in reading the article is if all the poor suckers stuck in prison will be freed! I sure hope so.
