It’s also the 40th anniversary of the Bail Reform Act’s draconian presumption of detention, which locks too many people in jail while awaiting trial and leads to longer sentences in drug cases; yet another reason to change the Guidelines. 2/2

Yesterday I had the privilege of participating in the USSC’s Drug Sentencing Roundtable. Forty years into the failed War on Drugs, it is past time to rethink the drug Guidelines. Thankful to the Commission for hosting this conversation. 1/2
