Then this is another area where you guys are unique. In most of the rest of the country, mandatory sentencing with no "breaks" or "second chances" is considered a right-wing, knee-jerk borderline Trump American talking point - even for people convicted of pretty horrible crimes.You don't want to talk about that in polite company, lest you be called a bunch of not-so-nice names.
