The U.S. Sentencing Commission held a public meeting on lowering crack cocaine sentencing guidelines. The commission voted in favor of the change. Members voted, unanimously to retroactively modify sentences pertaining to federal drug offenses, including reduction in term of imprisonment as a result of the amended guideline range recently adopted by Congress. Additionally, commissioners voted on provisions of the Fair Sentencing Act, which recently reduced the disparities in penalties between powder and crack cocaine, for some prisoners already serving time for crack cocaine offenses close
