For my 5th blog I read about lowering prison terms in sentences for crack. I think that this is really stupid, and they should raise the terms instead of lowering them. Crack kills and affects so many people because it is so addictive. People spend tens of thousands of dollars because they are addicting to crack and must have it, even though it is killing brain cells and destroying them mentally. By letting these crack dealers out of prison earlier, it is likely that they will go back selling this drug and ruining peoples lives. On the article it stated that for about 19,500 dealers, their sentences would be shorted from 10 years and 1 month, to 8 years and 10 months. That is over a year that around 20 thousand of these sick people will be wandering the streets causing more trouble and ruining more lives. Obviously, I think that the crack dealers should not have a shortened sentence, but a longer one.

I would definentally agree with you on this. These people should not be released on to the streets this early, personaly i belive that the original 10 year one month sentance is to short but the new term is horrible and will not be enough to stop these dealers and users.
Wow, I could only agree with you. We are only going to increase the problem by releasing crack addicts and dealers earlier. Like you said crack affects so many people and by lowering the sentence its only going to make the matter worse. Are we trying to make our world a more dumb place to live, by killing off our brain cells? I thought we were getting better as our future went on, I guess not. Honestly, if we keep crack addicts/dealers in prison longer maybe we could save lives, and make our world a more healthy, safe, smart place to live.
I agree good job bringing out the facts for the rest of the wlord to see and if 10 years is not stoping them what will 8 years do this is a horrible idea and i agree with you 100%
