Hey Alabama, this message is for you!  Especially when it comes to the major prison overcrowding problem!  John Oliver talked about the problems of mandatory minimums, or minimum sentences that must be handed down for simple crimes like pot possession.  Oh, we are talking about 10, 20, of life in prison!  As what John Oliver says, we treat some turkeys better than most low-level offenders.  Enjoy!
