Groups Call for Application of Fair Sentencing Act to All Sentences

The Open Society Foundations signed a joint amicus brief filed in Hill v. United States and Dorsey v. United States on February 7, arguing that Congress completely rejected the unfair and discriminatory 100-to-1 sentencing disparity and intended the Fair Sentencing Act to apply to all sentences after its enactment.

The brief was authored by the ACLU and joined by The Leadership Conference, the NAACP, the Sentencing Project, Families Against Mandatory Minimums, the Open Society Foundations, Drug Policy Alliance, and StoptheDrugWar.org.
