Steve Tucker served a 10-year prison
sentence for selling light bulbs.
Nearly a decade ago, he, his brother and
his sister-in-law were sent to prison in a
once-infamous federal drug case that
sparked national outrage for its rough
interpretation of justice, Scott
Henry writes in Creative Loafing
(Atlanta). "Watch out, you're talking to
a notorious ex-con," Tucker says to
Henry. His saga and the fate of his
brother testify to the human tragedies that
are the real product of the War on Drugs.
