Given that you haven't seen their submission, I can tell you, sir, that their submission also indicates that the experience of incarceration actually strengthens the influence of criminal networks, and that incarceration is likely to reinforce gang affiliation. We see that prison gangs are inextricably linked to street gangs.
Given the concern of the very entity you hold up as one which is supportive of your bill—their concern is about the effect of incarceration on the proliferation of these gangs—do you not share my concern that mandatory minimum sentences not only will not achieve the goal you seek, but actually will exacerbate the problem of organized crime and the proliferation of gangs?
