Congress retroactively imprisoning men under flawed drug sentencing laws. Tell them to get them out!

Misleading headline. They aren't applying the law retroactively to let them out. In this situation, retroactively is a good thing.

My proposal: If a law reduces sentences for any given crime, it must apply retroactively to any person currently imprisoned for the commission of that crime.

No Ispo Facto Law.

Which means, you can't change a law or write/rewrite a law that was.
