Drop The Rock: Racism, Injustice and The Prison System

Written by Executive Editor on April 26th, 2009

Posters have popped up around campus for a lecture Monday entitled Crack The Code: The Rockefeller Drug Laws. For those of you that don’t know the New York State has a set of draconian, archaic drug laws on the books that are responsible for filling state prisons with non-violent and petty criminals.

The social repercussions of these laws are astounding and harrowing. I encourage every student to attend Monday’s lecture at 8pm in Davis.

For more information Rockefeller Drug Laws, which thankfully are on their way out the door, check out the New York Civil Liberties Union website.
