Timothy Tyler was arrested for selling five grams of the hallucinogenic drug LSD to a friend who was working as an informant for the federal government. In 1996, Scott Walker was arrested for being a low-level pusher of LSD, cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine. If their arrests for these nonviolent offenses had happened today, Tyler and Walker-lacking criminal records-would have been punished with relatively short prison sentences. Instead, both of them are still behind bars and can expect to spend the rest of their lives there. Under a formula adopted by the U.S. government in 1987, federal judges could not deviate from strict sentencing guidelines for nonviolent crimes. For these offenders, the best hope for freedom is clemency, a process through which the president of the United
States or a state governor essentially forgives an inmate's wrongdoing and sets her or him free from prison. Those who favored a more severe punishment for Tyler would have been guided by the threat of punishment that reflects the principle of: A. specific deterrence. B. general deterrence. C. restoration. D. rehabilitation.
