I, Cringely on our current prison sentencing guidelines
Robert X. Cringely discusses a study by Michael Block and Fred Nold commissioned by the Department of Justice in 1982 that found that the proposed sentencing guidelines would actually increase crime, not deter it. Of course, DoJ ignored the study, implemented the sentencing guidelines, and gave us the prison system we have today.

Robert Cringely is one of my literary heros, ever since I started reading his "Notes From The Field" column in InfoWorld in the mid-90's. There is still a Robert X. Cringely writing for Infoworld, but it's not the same guy.
I still wonder whatever became of Pammy????
