I am so glad that someone finally realized we have a big problem with the law. Our Government needs to get to get real! I have been fighting for my daughter’s boyfriend, who is a fist time offender non- violent who received 25 years in prison. He did the crime at age 24 got sentenced at age 26 now he will be 51 years old before he can get out. No one even knows about this law till they are affected by it. Pasco County Florida is the worst. If you have no money for a lawyer or you don't snitch your gone. The bad part about it is Pasco County picks and chooses you gets the sentence. Government official need to come see how this whole program works in Pasco County Florida. I would Love to show them. If you snitch the police let you sell drug at the local store, drug house stay open for years all you have to do is give a little info each time they pull you over. Why can't they see we need to get to the root of the problem? Drug addicts have no where to go for help, most don't have insurance and the only rehab they can get is by getting into trouble with the law and getting sent by the courts to rehab. The only other thing you can do is get a 3 days Baker Act which 3 days does nothing. Sending Randy to prison till he is 51 years old is tax money gone to waste, the prison they sent him to don't even have substance abuse counseling. He had drugs in his car but what got him the 25 years is 70 Lora tabs. No ones saying he don't deserve to do some time, but his life, come on first time drug offender, when they are letting murders, rapist, child molester get out with much less time. He was a drug addict and needed help; this is how Pasco County Florida deals with people who needs help. The sad part about it is our Government is letting this happen. Government worries about what happening all over the world and we are always sticking are nose in were it don't belong, when they need to be looking right in their back yard and see how our courts are taking our young from us and offering no help unless you help them. Ya we have a big problem.

I AM VERT OPPOSED TO THESE SENTENCE GUIDE LINES.IT'S NOT EVEN FAIR.AS AMERICANS WE SPEND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS HELPING EVERYONE OUT SIDE THE UNITED STATES ,BUT LET OUR OWN GO TO PRISON LIKE GOING TO HELL IN A HAND BASKET.SHAME ON THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,WHEN WE TAKE THE RIGHT FROM THE JUDGE TO IMPOSE A REALISTIC SENTENCE,THE CASE IS DECIDE BEFORE OUR JUDGES EVER GET TO HEAR THEM,THE GUIDE LINES HAVE ALREADY BEEN SET.IS THERE ANY JUSTICE HERE ANYMORE.WHATS HAPPENING?WE LOSE OUR LOVED ONES FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. MOST ARE NON VIOLET FIRST TIME OFFENDERS.GOD HELP US ALL!
