Hell, Americans are famous for giving 2nd chances especially for non-gun stuff done when someone was barely over 18. At one time, many people could screw-up - then move somewhere far away and essentially start over. In today's electronic world - that becomes way more difficult to do.

I agree. I think every case should be evaluated based upon the danger to society and the contrite nature of the individual.

Cultivating mushrooms?

As in?

Madoff is a non violent felon. So is Manning, Snowden, and Holder.

Snowden should have never been charged with anything.

Snowden is an American hero to everyone except party line dems and neo cons. Cultivating a harmless substance like mushrooms when you are 18 is hardly a reason for your life to be over. Let a judge decide not the idiot public opinion that holds no merit in the realm rationality.

Non violent crime does not always merit release from prison. I think we are talking about those that are paroled that have committed crime not associated with physical violence or use of weapons. Felonious acts come in a variety of categories. Growing Cannabis can be a felony. It hardly is an act of violence.

Growing plants or fungi is not a violent act. Locking someone up for that is.
