Say Proposed Mandatory Minimum Sentences Are Unfunded Mandate

WASHINGTON, The Council of Prison Locals, the union
representing correctional staff in federal prisons, today warned that
legislation making its way through Congress that would classify certain gang-
related crimes as federal offenses and impose mandatory minimum sentences
could make federal prisons more dangerous.
"We're all for getting tough on crime, but felons don't just disappear
once they go to prison," said Phil Glover, president of the Council. Glover
noted that DOJ seems slow to prosecute inmates for such offenses and does not
seem to pursue cases with vigor. The Council of Prison Locals
represents 28,000 employees of the Bureau of Prisons, including 15,000
correctional officers. at the

On May 5, Glover testified before Congress about the increase in assaults
within federal prisons. What else can the defense say when the murder was caught
on video tape besides argue that their client is crazy? The defense won't
admit guilt and accept punishment.S. Sullivan, Co-Chair of the Firm's Appellate and Supreme Court Practice,

Corrections Staff Warn That Anti-Gang Bill Could Make Prisons More Violent

By creating a whole new class of federal crimes
without providing the staff to control the new prisoners, prisons will
continue to become more dangerous, said Glover.
Glover noted that the rise in assaults corresponds to a drop in staffing
levels at federal correctional facilities.
