Ending the Drug War w/
LEAP welcomes back Mr. Patrick Nightingale back to the program. As both a prosecutor and a criminal defense attorney, he has seen the devastating effect of mandatory minimum sentencing schemes where young people full of potential find them selves saddled with a felony narcotics trafficking convictions and warehoused in jails for selling a couple of grams of drugs, even if they have no prior criminal record. Before I get to my interview with Mr. Nightingale, I will discuss the new "Black Codes" also known as drug laws and my strong belief that these laws are being used to maintain slavery in the United States.
