I'm researching crimes and sentencing for a story and came up with some interesting tidbits: The Federal minimum mandatory sentences for "robbery ashore by a pirate" is life in prison "Interference in a Civil Service exam" gets you 10 days in the pen. "Refusal to operate railroad or telegraph lines" gets you locked up for six months. "Bribery of a meat inspector" can send you up the river for 1 year. but TREASON will get you five years. Stay out of trouble! E- |
