So wherever it is fucking legal already (there are absolutely still people imprisoned for offences that no longer exist in their state), way to miss the point..
Federal prison is different from state prisons.
I understand the frustration but point your anger at the right people.
The head of our system doesnt make state based decisions. Which is where the legalizing and the majority of criminalizing has been happening.
So, not the right person.

I don't think you fully understand the relationship between federal and state law, or between repealed / altered laws and those who were convicted beforehand.
