Proofread for common errors such as missing commas, use of first person verbiage, misspellings, run on sentences, and sentence fragments. Make sure advocating for prison sentence reform has been properly defended. Mandatory minimums face critiques for their rigidity, which often strips the judiciary of discretion, leading to unfair outcomes. Critics argue that these laws ignore the unique factors of each case, resulting in disproportionate sentences that fail to achieve justice or rehabilitate offenders. Additionally, mandatory minimums have been linked to systemic disparities and the unnecessary swelling of prison populations. Through sentencing reform, we can tackle ingrained racial and socioeconomic inequality in the justice system. Siegler's article "Shift the Paradigm on Mandatory Minimums" explains that sentencing reforms are designed to eliminate inequalities that arise from racial and gender biases as well as mandatory minimum sentence rules (2022). The implementation of standardized sentencing guidelines along with improved transparency will allow reforms to reduce biases. These measures strengthen the justice system's fairness while supporting public trust which is essential for maintaining these reforms and reducing disparities.
