The BOL-Crap Guidelines: Why Federal Drug Sentencing Is Designed to Punish the Poor While Banks Walk Free

This is the system working exactly as designed: punishing poor people, disproportionately Black and Latino, for low-level participation in drug distribution while protecting wealthy institutions and individuals whose involvement dwarfs street dealers by orders of magnitude. The new sentencing amendments are a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound. The entire framework deserves to be dismantled and rebuilt from principles of proportionality, equity, and actual justice rather than the current apparatus of class warfare disguised as drug policy.
