The government's policy objectives...Hear, hear! The government's policy objectives in eliminating the 2-for-1 credit and instituting mandatory minimum sentences are dubious at best and political pandering at worst. These policies do not reduce recidivism and do not protect the public.<br /><br />In any event, if judges can't overtly use 2-for-1, they will just adjust the resulting sentence accordingly without mentioning that 2-for-1 is effectively what they are doing.Devin Johnstonhttp://devinjohnston.canoreply@blogger.com
