Non violent criminals shouldn’t be rotting in jail for marijuana...get with the times, you shouldn’t be in jail for small drug offenses.

This argument has always been a non sequitur.

Not sure what you are talking about. Violent criminals, including bank robbers and carjackers, will be eligible for early release under the “First Step Act.”

Less than 1% of federal inmates are in for simple possession, and most all of those were actually arrested for trafficking and plea-bargained down to possession. The idea that our prisons are full of non-violent drug offenders is a myth.
