My brother, Michael R. Coffem was given a life sentence in the federal court for a conspiracy with intent to distribute crystal meth. He fell under the minimum mandatory law because of two small possession charges when he was younger. The antiquated Rockfeller Law was created to hopefully bring justice to the kingpins and major role players in the war on drugs. However, the law has had a reverse effect which has created a huge overflow of the small role players being held in the prisons for taxpayers to pay for their housing, medical, food etc for the rest of their lives...These are our brothers and sister, our sons and daughters, the parents of children left with no parent...It should be priority that the cases be looked at on an individual level, and these folks be given an opportunity to proove that they can and want to become an asset to society..The true crime is that a law that is not working is the reason why lives are being destroyed even the future generation...This is the true crime...The law is a one size fits all law...leaving no discretion to the judge in each individual case..and, if you have no money, how much justice can you afford..not much...My brother received a LIFE SENTENCE..never a violent or weapon charge..He had a horrible addiction that has changed our lives forever...Please pray for my brother and the thousands being held for long or life sentences for low level drug crimes...Michael R. Coffman 06072-017 USP Pollock P.O. Box 2099 Pollock, Louisiana 71467..He is an awesome man and brother who needed to sit down for awhile to find himself again...but, not for the rest of his precious ♥LiFe♥
To the late and great Walter Cronkite..thank you for being a major asset to this planet and thank you so much for insight and facts to how The Rockefeller law is noT even close to answer on the war on drugs. Thank you for all the years of knowing we could trust you for the truth.
Dan...Thank you so very much...I am getting very fired up about the complete insanity...The Feds are willing to let gooD men and women die in prison...we have got to speak out for those that do not have a voice anymore..it is up to us..We cannot forget their faces...We have got to demand help..
I appreciate your consistent support and care for this planet and its people more than you know..Walter Cronkite spells it out to us..the truth, the reality of what is really going on.
