Forgotten Man Caught in War on Drugs
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.
