“John Richard Knock realizes he’ll likely die in a 12-by-10-foot cell in federal prison.  Locked behind bars on a marijuana trafficking conviction, America’s growing acceptance of the drug is cold comfort to the 66-year-old who was handed two life sentences, plus 20 years — for a first-time conviction.  The sentence makes Knock one of 3,278 prisoners recently identified by the American Civil Liberties Union who are serving life without parole for nonviolent drug and property crimes. Nearly four in every five were convicted of crimes involving drugs, including marijuana.  Recreational use of marijuana is now legal in Colorado and Washington, and 15 other states have also eased restrictions.”
