Due to the lag in the Supreme Court's schedule, we dive into issues of criminal law and criminal law reform. First we talk about mandatory minimum sentences- what are they and why don't they work? We discuss the history, the flawed logic behind their enactment, and the incidental issues that come with judicial inflexibility. Next, after a short discussion about Michelle's favorite childhood cartoon, we discuss modern day debtor prisons and when an individual can be thrown in jail for their inability to pay a fine. The importance of this issue is on the rise due to a DOJ report about Ferguson and a renewed interest inherent bias behind these laws.
