The second thing we did was there was a rule passed in the 90s that basically penalized crack cocaine at 100 times the penalty of what regular cocaine was.
And I think a lot of the motivations what people say in retrospect was that crack was more of a black drug and cocaine was more of a white drug.
And so there was a really racial disparity in terms of what the application of these sentences were.
So they then revised that to make it 18 to one.
And what we did in this bill is we allowed it to go retroactive to allow people who were in prison with sentences under the, what we thought was the racist law to be able to make an application to a judge in order to be dismissed.
And it was based on good behavior, um,
being rehabilitated and the fact that they would have a low probability of offending in the future.
And so that was really the meat of it.
