BARBER Amendment: A bill to amend Title 18 U.S.C. § 3624(b)(1) as follows: by striking the number "54" in the first sentence as it appears and inserting in lieu thereof the number "128"; and in the same sentence, by striking "prisoner's term of imprisonment" and inserting in lieu thereof "sentence imposed" . This Amendment is retroactive. [END].
Note: The Barber Amendment and The Sentencing Reform Act of 2011 have not been introduced. FedCURE is seeking bipartisan support for the bills in the 112th Congress. You can help make that happen!
Action Alert: Do your part. Contact your Congressperson(s) and urge them to support this bill. Contact Congress: http://www.fedcure.org/ContactCongressREP-SEN.shtml
Another thing you can do to help this cause is call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121. You can call this number every day to voice your support for The Barber Amendment. Here is a message you can give them:
"I am calling to have you to introduce and cosponsor the Barber Amendment, because I am concerned that almost 211,000 people are "Endlessly" languishing in federal prisons in the U.S. The average age is 38 years old. Most are serving long sentences, for a non-violent offense like marijuana; the majority of whom are first time offenders. There is no parole.
