Summary:
[Contains explicit content] It is the mid-1980s, and America is alarmed by the dawn of crack cocaine. We go to Capitol Hill for the little-known story of behind the tough-on-crime era, when lawmakers played fast and loose with mandatory minimum sentencing, literally picking numbers out of [their] asses according to one insider. The harsh anti-drug legislation--cobbled together in weeks--included the now notorious 100 to 1 sentencing ratio for crack vs. powder cocaine, which disproportionately affected black communities and led to mass incarceration.
