Fairly devastating news from Mississippi.

MS sentences people to life without parole for a 3rd felony. 86 people are in prison for life over a drug conviction.

A bill that'd have retroactively reduced their sentence was *so* close to passing, but died in conference. #SB2795
The bill would have made the maximum sentence for a third felony enhancement 15 years, which is still a staggering number especially for a drug offense, but would have brought relief to many.
CORRECTION: SB2795 is another criminal justice bill. The bill I'm describing above, & which didn't pass, is #HB796.
