There are many cases of extended time served for small personal amounts of marijuana. Especially after "tough on crime" effort and 3-strikes laws that permeated throughout the country starting in the 90s. Obama vacated many federal sentences before his term ended, but that didn't cover prisoners in state and county prisons.
Plenty of press and articles around this over the past few years.
- taheca 9y agoI think that this is true, but didn't Obama have a massive wave of Pardons of people like this before he left office?
