Be careful about blaming the Republicans. Tougher sentencing is a bi-partisan affair that plays well to voters.

Take for example the Obama resume on being tough on crime...

But, consider that overall, crime rates are dropping across the board, but arrests and incarceration is increasing. Meaning... We are criminalizing more and more in our society.
