In mid-May, Attorney General Jeff Sessions tasked federal prosecutors with charging "the most serious readily provable offense" (Reinhard, 2017). Some say this order rolled back years of President Obama's criminal justice policies that avoided charging nonviolent, less-serious drug offenders with long, mandatory-minimum sentences.
