Some media coverage of new crack guidelines

Here are some of the headlines I have noticed from media stories covering the US Sentencing Commission's now-effective new crack sentencing guidelines:

• Crack Cocaine Guidelines Go Into Effect from the AP
• More equity in cocaine sentencing from the Christian Science Monitor
• New Crack Cocaine Sentencing Guidelines Go Into Effect Today from All Headline News
• Feds cut sentences for crack cocaine from Gary Post Tribune

Of course, these stories provide only the basics of the guideline changes.  For a lot more angles on these issues — including the great retroactivity issue — I have lots of posts in this archive.
