Rockefeller Drug Laws

Also they don’t discriminate between the dealer and the mule or sibling or wife of the dealer. They can all be sentenced to the same amount of time even if they weren’t the one running the show.
The drug penalties are more harsh than other worse crimes. Why should someone in the possession of an ounce of cocaine be given more time in jail than a rapist, or murderer?

countries the condemned are stoned to death. But there are special rules
for these executions; (Amnesty International article1), "The Islamic Penal
Code of Iran stipulates: "In the punishment of stoning to death, the stones
should not be so large that the person dies on being hit by one or two of
them."1 This is the kind of cruelty which is inflicted on the executed in

punishment to work as a deterrence, certain events must be present in the
criminal's mind prior to committing the offence. The criminal must be aware that

and that what happened to another individual who committed this offence, can
also happen to me.

424 Words - 2 Pages.... later. For the sake of
argument lets look at the Pros and Cons.
The Pros:
There are many reasons why the Death Penalty should be used again.

cost more to hold one inmate one years than to put him through Harvard Law

meals a day, a roof over their heads, a bed to sleep in, very often activities
to do. That include Tennis, Weightlifting, or even Prostitutes. ....

the accidents that would still be occurring would not have as many injuries.

Marijuana: Opponent's Factual Brief
1598 Words - 6 Pages.... Jamaica. These tests reported on the effects of marijuana on
its users in there natural environment. The reports covered marijuana's
effect on the brain, immune and reproductive systems. (1) These studies didn't
