Democratic candidates differ on drug sentencing
While Bill Clinton is apologizing for not having done more to reduce the disparity in sentencing for crack and powder cocaine that is in part responsible for putting one in nine young black men in prison, Hillary Clinton has come out against making retroactive the small change in sentencing guidelines that allows some people convicted to have their sentences reviewed by a judge and if they are found eligible, given early release.
Obama, meanwhile, supports making the sentencing change retroactive. MAIA SLALAVITZ in The Huffington Post.
