Mona Lynch, Professor of Criminology, Law and Society, is a guest contributor for The Huffington Post as she appeals to President Obama to grant clemency on prisoners who have fallen victim to the abuses of "prosecutorial power that are possible under our current drug laws" before the end of his presidency.
