Sometimes, we don't realize how the 'War on Drugs' affects a lot of Black women as well.

All inmates given clemency by Obama are first sent to lower-security prisons and then halfway houses to help begin their transition before they are released from the custody of the Bureau of Prisons. After that approximately four-month process, the inmates are released and transferred to the custody of the U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services system.

One of the inmates granted clemency was Sharanda Jones, a 48-year-old Texas woman who was sentenced to life in prison without parole for a single cocaine offense. She was a first-time, nonviolent offender.

The Washington Post highlighted “Jones’ case in July as an example of the tens of thousands of inmates in federal prison who received severe mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses during the crack-cocaine epidemic. Jones has spent the last 16 years behind bars, leaving an 8-year-old daughter to grow up without her mother.

“The president literally saved her life today,” said Brittany Bryd, the attorney who filed Jones’ clemency petition.

u see how nikkas snitch on her saying she was the leader so they can get reduce sentences... that's all it take......

 

[Jesus]

I'd smash both mother and daughter.

 

[King Poetic]

If u going to be doing drugs u better study law while u at it. seriously

a lot of blacks don't know especially just getting to the game even if you just discuss a possible drug deal with another person and if that person get caught and say he was going to do a deal with u, the law can arrest you even if u wasn't even going to do a deal or have anything on you...

i wish her the best

 

[the cac mamba]

something to think about when it comes time to vote, at all levels

no, shyt isnt really gonna change. but if president Romney is in office, she probably dies in prison

 

[Bolzmark]

I knew it would happen. All I can do is shake my head when I hear people say he isn't looking out for blacks. Just wait. We're gonna miss this dude when he's gone.
