Families Against Mandatory Minimums

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM) is a national nonprofit organization founded in 1991 to challenge what they believe to be the inflexible and excessive penalties required by mandatory sentencing laws. FAMM promotes sentencing policies that give judges the discretion to distinguish between defendants and sentence them according to their role in the offense, the seriousness of the offense, and their potential for rehabilitation. FAMM's members include prisoners and their families, attorneys, judges, criminal justice experts, and concerned citizens. FAMM does not argue that crime should go unpunished - but the punishment must fit the crime.
