Ecuador’s Original Sin: Punitive Laws and Overcrowded Prisons:

The beginnings of Ecuador’s prison crisis can be traced back to one of the most
punitive drug laws in the western hemisphere. Introduced in 1991, Law 1081
placed drug-related crimes on the same level as murder, armed robbery, rape
and kidnapping, and brought in mandatory minimum sentences of 10 years for
anyone caught in possession of illegal substances, no matter the quantity. It also
introduced the principle of inversion of proof, meaning that those accused of
drug offenses were assumed guilty unless they could prove their innocence.

EDITOR’S NOTES

1. We do not link To Fox News or Fox Business News.

2. We sometimes link to Fox affiliates.

3. We sometimes link to sites that contain a video that might have a snippet from Fox News.

4. We try to avoid second hand news stories that are sourced from Fox News or Fox Business News.

5. We try to not link to sites with pay walls. This eliminates NYT and WaPo (who cares?) but also eliminates WSJ and Epoch Times. We hope that Epoch Times changes their business model because they are one of the best news outlets in the English language.

6. We believe it is more important than ever for Americans to monitor world affairs. The most influential man in America is probably George Soros and he is not in America–nor is he an American. Other understated influences on America include World Economic Forum, BBC, and CBC, to name but a few.

7. Most English language newspapers in non-English speaking countries are paid subscription sites. This presents an ongoing challenge to report on world affairs.

8. We try to avoid linking to mainstream media when possible We are not hesitant to link to mainstream sources if the news story involves raw data, such as the daily stock market or weather statistics or sports scores. Even then, we usually provide a “Mainstream” disclaimer.
