Federal drug war hampered by lenient judges and parole
GAO analysis of 1 044 federal drug cases from 1962 to 1983 finds three of four offenders received less than maximum sentences. Major dealers and mob figures often got far shorter terms, with parole releases shortening prison time. Examples include a Thailand based heroin dealer and several Mafia figures. The piece also notes leniency in parole outcomes and critiques of sentencing patterns.
