Federal Mandatory Minimum Sentencing Statutes: An Overview of Legislation in the 106th Congress (open access)

Federal Mandatory Minimum Sentencing Statutes: An Overview of Legislation in the 106th Congress

This report discusses federal mandatory minimum sentencing statutes, which demand that execution or incarceration follow criminal conviction. They cover drug dealing, murdering federal officials, and using a gun to commit a federal crime. They circumscribe judicial sentencing discretion. They have been criticized as unthinkingly harsh and incompatible with a rational sentencing guideline system; yet they have also been embraced as hallmarks of truth in sentence and a certain means of incapacitating the criminally dangerous.
