Attorney General Eric Holder made an announcement at the American Bar Association conference in San Francisco that the era of long prison terms for non-violent drug offenses has come to an end. According to The Guardian, Holder said, "Too many Americans go to too many prisons for far too long and for no truly good law enforcement reason," he said, adding later: "We cannot simply prosecute or incarcerate our way to becoming a safer country." While that may sound like it will reduce the federal prison population, that simply is not going to happen.
