The Federal Sentencing Guidelines, or the old ones at least, imposed a sentence 100 times harsher for being caught with crack cocaine than those caught with the same amount of powdered cocaine.

(prHWY.com) March 18, 2013 - Florida, FL -- Florida, Mar 16, 2013 - The Federal Sentencing Guidelines, or the old ones at least, imposed a sentence 100 times harsher for being caught with crack cocaine than those caught with the same amount of powdered cocaine. The 100-to-1 ratio is seen as being racially biased because white people are generally caught with powdered cocaine and not white people are generally caught with crack cocaine.
Federal Prison Sentence - Basically, these are pre-set prison or probation terms for certain crimes. These laws have drawn a lot of criticism because there seems to be a bias towards crimes that occur less among the upper individuals. For example, being caught with crack cocaine is subject to a longer prison term than people caught with plain cocaine. As crack cocaine is more commonly found in less affluent areas, it is seen as a biased system.
Punishment imposed for crack cocaine much closer to the punishments given for the powdered form of cocaine and the punishment for selling drugs in general. The court felt that federal sentencing guidelines were too harsh. This decision is being seen as the Supreme Court giving the go-ahead to judges that want to impose more lenient terms on crack offenders. The decision by the Supreme Court came on the eve of the Sentencing Commission.
American Prison Consultants - Administration and its prosecutors favored longer prison sentences but respected the Court's decision. This decision gives permission for judges everywhere to issue a sentence that is less than the federal guideline. It makes the guidelines actual guidelines, not set in stone rules.
