An Inmate's View of Truth in Sentencing

An inmate in the Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Boyds, Md. has sounded off to The Gazette, offering an opposing view of proposed truth-in-sentencing legislation in the state.

No, that is not a misprint. This letter was actually written by a convicted felon still serving time in a Maryland prison. The letter was written in response to this letter by William Colonel Smith, who serves as vice-chairman of a victims' assistance organization in Montgomery County, and whom I had the pleasure of speaking with at length yesterday on the phone for the first time.
