No worries, Obama will commute all their sentences
Anyone caught with drug Contraband should have 10 years added to their sentence
Sunkist. Squeeze. Ha, it's a play on words.
This is very confusing. Wouldn't they want the prisoners to be off opiates and such? Isn't that what these meds are doing? It's odd that the prisoners are smuggles meds so that they can get off drugs. Do these meds give them a high?
