TRUMP HEADS TO NEW HAMPSHIRE TO TALK OPIOIDS…

Directive to DOJ Part Of Plan To Address Spike In Overdoses…

OPIOIDS/CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM EXPERT: Greg Newburn is Director of State Policy for Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM).

“President Donald Trump called for drug dealers to receive the death penalty in some cases as part of his administration’s effort to address the opioid crisis.
The Department of Justice “will seek the death penalty against drug traffickers, where appropriate under current law,’’ the White House said in a fact sheet released on Sunday.. The White House also floated several other initiatives to combat opioid overdoses that killed more than 40,000 people in the U.S. in 2016 — five times higher than the rate in 1999.
Trump has talked in the past about his desire to impose capital punishment for drug dealers, arguing that some are responsible for hundreds of deaths. It’s unclear if Trump’s directive will actually be implemented, as even routine death penalty judgments in murder cases often face years of litigation.
“I don’t think we should play games,’’ Trump said earlier this month during a political rally in Pennsylvania. “These people are killing our kids and they’re killing our families, and we have to do something.’’
Trump travels to New Hampshire on Monday to roll out the new plan in one of the states hardest hit by opioid addiction and death. Also included in the initiative: tougher criminal penalties for trafficking in fentanyl, a frequently-abused pain medication; new public outreach efforts to deter drug use; and additional restrictions on federal funding for opioid treatments.”
ABOUT: FAMM (Families Against Mandatory Minimums) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization fighting for smart sentencing laws that protect public safety. We see a country where criminal sentencing is individualized, humane, and sufficient to impose fair punishment and protect public safety. Our supporters include taxpayers, families, prisoners, law enforcement, attorneys, judges, criminal justice experts and concerned citizens.
What FAMM Does…
 
By advocating for sensible state and federal sentencing reform, FAMM helps:
 
(1) Lessen the burden of overcrowded prisons on taxpayers…
 
(2) Shift resources from excessive incarceration to law enforcement and other programs proven to reduce crime and recidivism…
 
(3) Mobilize those whose lives are harmed by unfair prison sentences to work constructively for change…
BIO: Greg Newburn is a graduate of the University of Florida and the University of Florida Levin College of Law. Greg has been with FAMM since October of 2010 and runs FAMM’s Florida State Project. Prior to joining FAMM, Greg worked at the Cato Institute and taught high school economics and government. He lives in Gainesville, Florida.
