US Sentencing Commission could act to reduce prison time for thousands | RTB

On April 27, 2023, the United States Sentencing Commission submitted to Congress amendments to the federal sentencing guidelines that would recommend lower sentences for certain defendants. If these changes are applied retroactively, some 18,775 people in federal prison could become eligible for a sentencing reduction—including 3,288 individuals who could be eligible for immediate release. Mary Price of Families Against Mandatory Minimums joins Rattling the Bars to discuss the proposed amendments and what they could mean for thousands of prisoners and their families.

Mary Price is General Counsel of FAMM. She directs the FAMM Litigation Project and advocates for reform of federal sentencing and corrections law and policy before Congress, the U.S. Sentencing Commission, the Bureau of Prisons, and the Department of Justice.

  1. My boyfriend who is 62 yrs is serving a mm sentence in az. He was only a passenger in a vehicle. This sentence has drastically changed his elderly father's life and health. He retired from a job he worked for 31 yrs and never been in trouble a day in his life…his dad will probably die without him.

  2. the criminal justice "systems" NEEDS "INVESTIGATING""INVESTIGATION""INVESTIGATING"…..JAIL for what lead to "WRONG" doing…..ijs

  3. Please read James Hart Stern's book the I'm to be apart of this project 😎😎 your old slavemasters is the police state today. Caucasian Warmongers want to control the world by bully other countries . Weaponizing every sector, illegal Constitution, prison complex, IRS, media companies, military industrial complex, must be disbanded. We need a new Constitution. Not debt and oppression system, Kangaroo courts , selling our data information to the highest bidder. Do you have the address to where your information is being stored? the cloud 🌨️🌨️ Racism is cancer it kills life.

  4. Really think about how many jobs would be affected if there was less or no crime. Unfortunately we can talk till we are blue in the face but if your broke or uneducated and obviously race is and was always a target…..your screwed. It makes me angry.

  5. The problem with these amendments is that they keep adding criteria’s and holes besides if you have a hanging judge who by his instincts acts like the AUSA assistant and he would have “ Discretion” that right there is the fine printing that continues to hurt criminal justice reform!

  6. Thank you, Mansa Musa, for having Nancy Price on this important discussion. ❤
    These laws help all of us to understand better what is happening in our prison system and Congress has done in the past and what it holds for the future. Racial justice for all.
    Thank you, again Ms. Price.

  7. This is all political to destabilize society ,and turn it into a third world country ,just like this trans movement and indoctrination of children in school. To weaken the country and control the peasants with death camps. Hooray says china.

  8. What is most fucked up is over half the people locked up have NO victim for the crimes that they were convicted of? How do we justify the amount of law enforcement money spent? arrests! How are the arrests justified? Convictions! Now factor in to this equation the fact that ALL agencies involved in this process are immune from prosecution. Investigate themselves and answer to NOBODY. Now Google the 13th Amendment and read what it says. Stop lying to ourselves

  9. Good!
    Release them. At their advanced age, they won't really be a threat to anyone. As a bonus, taxpayers won't have to foot the bill for continued detainment and medical care. Prisons should not become de-facto retirement homes. I firmly believe starting at age 67 (current official retirement age) prisoners should be released when they are least able to do anymore harm. This would greatly unburden the system and taxpayers.
    The savings alone would greatly assist in helping the prison industrial complex go green and archive net-zero status.

  10. True story. On the same day, a judge sentenced two people. One sold $250 worth of weed twice. The second person beat the F out of an elderly woman. The judge was mandated to give the pot dealer a longer sentence. The judge was livid. He saw the injustice, but the state gave him orders. I read it in a jailhouse newspaper.

  11. Not enough people released. Time 10 and I'll be satisfied. Especially no violent and drug possession.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 It seems to me we tend to arrest people and we forget where they went. Find them they are still with us. They don't disappear. There are many organizations out there that will help, use them.😊

  12. increased time incarcerated due to past record is sentencing twice for the same crime, and so goes way beyond even the constitutional ban on double jeopardy, which means just being put in jeopardy- danger- of being punished twice for the same crime.

    it also a total denial of due process– no arrest, no charges, no trial, no conviction for the extra time you're incarcerated for.

  13. HEADS UP: A SUB HERE AND I WAS BITING AT THE BIT. OH HOW I WISH I COULD HAVE ADDRESSED THAT VIPER YOU ARE FAR OUT IN RIGHT FIELD INTERVIEWING HER/IT.
    FIRST THING, THE FEDERAL GOV WAS DISSOLVED IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF 1933!
    SECOND THING, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, UNITED STATES, USA AND U.S. ARE CORPORATIONS!!! 28 USC (AKA UNITED STATES CODES) 3002 SECTION 15A, CONGRESS CREATED IT!!
    THIRD THING, EVERY ATTORNEY OF THE " WORLD " IS SWORN TO THE CROWN OF ENGLAND, BAR STANDS FOR B.A.R. BRITISH ACCREDITED REGISTRAR! THEN YOU HAVE THE ABAR, AMERICAN BRITISH ACCREDITED REGISTRAR, IT'S A RICO RACKETEERING PRIVATE CLUB. THESE EVIL DOERS ARE BACK PADDLING BECAUSE THEY ARE IN DEEP DUNG WITHOUT A PADDLE!! THEIR SYSTEM OF FRAUD AND INJUSTICE IS COMING TO A CLOSE, SHORTLY.
    THE MONARCHY OF ENGLAND IS FIXING TO BE DISCLOSED AND WHAT IT HAS DONE WILL SHOCK THE WORLD.
    THEY HAVE INFILTRATED ALL ASPECTS OF OUR " REAL " GOVERNMENT AND CONGRESS, SENATE, PRESIDENCY, LOCAL YOCALS, SHERIFF', LEO'S, FBI, MARSHAL', CIA, AND THE REST OF THE ALPHABET SOUPS.
    THEY RUN A MEAT MARKET. THE PEOPLE AND THEY BODIES, ARE THE SURETY FOR THE BOND AND YOUR LABOR IS TRADED ON THE MARKET, DUNN AND BRADSTREET.
    THAT SOC SEC NO. IS NOT " YOU ", ITS THE CORPORATION UPPER CASE NAME THAT IS SIMILAR TO YOUR OWN. THEY STOLE IT AT BIRTH, MADE IT A CORP WHEREIN THEY'VE DUPED US INTO BELIEVING IT WAS US WHEN IT IS NOT, HOWEVER ITS THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN INTERACT WITH THE LIVING MEN/WOMEN OF AMERICA. THEY MAKE " MILLIONS " OFF THAT SOC SEC WHILE YOU ARE NAIVE TO THEIR THEFT. EVERY CASE NUMBER BEFORE A COURT IS A TAX ID NUMBER WHEREIN THEY ARE TO PAY TAXES ON THAT CAPITAL GAINS, HOWEVER THEY DON'T. IT WOULD TAKE TO LONG TO WRITE THIS ALL OUT, BUT TRUST ME, I'M CONVEYING THE TRUTH. BUT BY ALL MEANS GO LOOK IT UP.
    CONGRESS HAS RULED NO LESS THAN TWICE THAT THE BAR IS A RICO PRIVATE CLUB.
    COPS ARE REVENUERS, BRINGING IN THE SHEEP FOR THE FLEECING! ALL PUBLIC SERVANTS SWORE TO SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION! WHEN THEY USURP THAT OATH, THAT MAKES THEM CLASS D FELONS. GOES FOR SENATORS, CONGRESS, PRES., YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC SERVANTS, GOVERNOR, ETC.
    COMMERCE IS WHAT THEY ALL ARE, WHICH IS TO RUN THIS COUNTRY TO BENEFIT WE THE PEOPLE, PERIOD. WE DON'T ANSWER TO THEM, BUT THEY SURE AS HECK ANSWER TO US. IF THEY DON'T KNOW THEIR OATH THEY ARE EMBEZZLING THEIR OFFICE AND NEED TO STEP DOWN IMMEDIATELY! HOWEVER THEY'VE GOTTEN A BIT BIG FOR THEIR BRITCHES!!
    THEIR CODES AND THOSE STATE STATUTES ARE NOT FOR US, WE ARE NOT GOVERNMENT AGENTS, EMPLOYEE'S, OFFICERS OF THE COURT, NOR A WARD OF THE COURT, CHATTEL, CATTLE, DEFENDANT OR SUBJECT. WE ARE SUI JURIS, INDEPENDENT PRIVATE MEN AND WOMEN. THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT HAS RULED THEY HAVE NO PARITY WITH THE LIVING!! THAT'S US!
    THEY ARE BOUND BY THEIR OATHS, AND THEY MUST FOLLOW THEIR OWN CODES AND STATUTES. THEY ARE " NOT " LAWS. THERE IS ONLY ONE LAW GIVER AND THAT IS THE ALMIGHTY FATHER CREATOR OF ALL LIFE!! THEY KNOW THIS. ALL THEY CAN DO IS CREATE MAN MADE CODES/STATUTES. AND LIE TO US, PULLING THE WOOL OVER OUR EYE'S INDOCTRINATING US TO BELIEVE BECAUSE THEY SAY ITS LAW, DOES NOT MAKE IT SO!! RED IS RED, BLUE IS BLUE. CODES AND STATUTES WERE CREATED TO FOOL YOU!!
    THEY USE THAT SOC SEC NUMBER TO TAP INTO THE CESTUI QUE VIE TRUST ESTATE, AS DOES DOCTOR'S, DENTISTS, INSURANCE COMPANIES, HOSPTIALS, CLINIC'S, ATTORNEY'S, COURTS, POLICE, SHERIFF (SOME SHERIFF') WHEN THEY ASK YOU YOUR BIRTHDATE AND SOC, YEP THEY GOT IT. THAT IS A FELONY TO ASK FOR IT, LET ALONE USE IT!!!!!!!!! IT IS AN ELABORATE SYSTEM TO SCREW THE PEOPLE, BUILD THEIR WEALTH, AND LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK. WELL, I HEAR TELL, ITS ALL GOING TO COME CRASHING DOWN. 🙂 THEY ARE GOING TO BE PULLING SOME STUFF HOWEVER, AND WE JUST NEED TO STAY IN THE WORD OF THE LORD AND HOLD ONTO OUR FAITH. EVERYTHING IS NOT AS IT SEEMS.
    18 USC 241 AND 18 USC 242. ONE NEVER RELIES ON THESE BUT WE CAN QUOTE THEM AND USE THEM AGAINST THEM!!
    TAKE CARE. BE BLESSED.

  14. Chapo Guzman,drug lord from Mexico, will be one of them. Do you think he will go back to Mexico? Of course Not!

  15. Mandatory minimum sentences are evil and have always been evil. All prisons should be abolished and all prisoners released with just compensation. The very very psychopathic few released can then run for office as many of that ilke do.

  16. In ri where I am if you violate probation no matter what you are put back in jail or given more time. Even if the circumstances leading to the violation were inaccurate or mistakes and shouldnt have been there at all

  17. Protocol 5 "We shall create an intensified centralization of government in order to grip in our hands all the forces of the community. We shall regulate mechanically all the actions of the political life of our subjects with new laws. These laws will withdraw one-by-one all the indulgences and liberties which have been permitted by the goyim, and our kingdom will be distinguished by a despotism of such magnificent proportions as to be at any moment and in every place in a position to wipe out any goyim who oppose us by word or deed.”

  18. I was coming of age when these "Mandatory Minimum Sentences" and lost a couple friends to it over petty drug charges. Absolutely destroyed my friend who went in at 20 and came out at 32. He just couldn't adapt to a world that left him behind for 12 years on a 20 year sentence. Most country's don't incarcerate for that long for horrible crimes. Ain't that 'Murica for you and me. Ain't that 'Murica something to see 🇺🇸

  19. the congress could dissolve for all i care.
    The american congress is full of thugs who should be swapped for the prisoners inside.
    Would give Americans a new chance perhaps and F**K this Could and Should Balls. It will never happen.
    Less we forget, about 2% of americans are inside jails right now. That the worst figure in the world. A true $hithole!

  20. FIRST OF ALL NO CRIMINAL THAT KILLED, WOUNDED, RAPED OR BURNED DOWN CITY'S DON'T GET LOWER JAIL TIME. BEFORE ANYONE GETS OUT OF JAIL THE INNOCENT AMERICAN'S IN THE DC JAIL FOR OVER 2 YEAR'S ARE BEING ACCUSED OF JUST BEING ON WE THE PEOPLE'S PROPERTY. FACT THE JAIL IS ABUSING INNOCENT VICTIMS COME FIRST. NOT CRIMINALS

  21. Our "forefathers" set us up: This is Section 1 of Virginia Declaration of Rights. It predates the Constitution for the United States:

    "That all [flesh-and-blood] men [and women] are by nature [created by God] equally free and independent [personal sovereignty], and have certain inherent [natural, God-given] rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society [legal definition of society is a collective organization of corporations; ie fictitious entities; ie the matrix], they cannot, by any compact [contract] deprive or divest their posterity [of such rights, only themselves]; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety."

    The bill of rights only applies to people; men and women. The word "person" is defined as a corporation, when you are a member of society; i.e., person, individual, us citizen, driver, taxpayer, etc etc etc, it is the avatar that exists in society, avatars have privileges because only flesh-and-blood people can have natural rights. technically, we have no constitutional rights because the constitution merely Affirms natural rights, whatever "constitutional" rights there are have been statutized into privileges for the avatar.

    When a baby is born, the bankrupt US Govt creates a corporation using the baby's name in all capital letters. it then uses the corporation as collateral to get a loan from the (private front company) federal reserve represented as federal reserve notes "dollars". People are the sureties for the "US citizen" corporation. Debt is transferred to people this way, police are revenue enforcers of the bankruptcy. This is the legal framework of our ensalvement since 1933. we went from the gold standard to the private faith and credit/future performance of the american people, that's why she called Neo "coppertop", our energy is being stolen.

    "The validity of the public debt of the United States…shall not be questioned."
    14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, Section 4

    also, when cops ask you something, ask them if they are making a request or demand. if a request, you can deny the request, if they are making a demand, there is a statute that gives the officer the authority to make such a demand. every crime is a commercial crime since it has value for the creditors of the bankrupt gov. attorneys ensure that debt gets transferred. People in prison are collateral for municipal bonds.

    Cops aren't taught, they are trained.
    Rights are nothing mean nothing unless you assert them.
    We don't have constitutional rights, we have natural rights.
    People are flesh and blood men and women; persons are fictitious entities.
    We are conditioned to believe lies while we are led to the slaughterhouse.

    Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing who lie and deceive. They operate in secret because they know they can be defeated. They will use logic to try to convince us that good is evil and evil is good since the mind can be tricked. They will exploit negative emotions of fear and anger to try and divide us so they can conquer us. In reality, they are afraid of our unitive potential to put them out of material power.
    There’s a lot going on in the world today. We may be inspired, encouraged, told the truth about things but hardly anyone is addressing what we can actually do to positively change the course of human events. We do it by creating a synergy using sympathetic resonance of our positive emotions of our heart chakra.
