Leo Arroyo, holding a Puerto Rican flag, and about 50 other people yesterday demonstrated outside the Federal Court House to urge Sens. Harris Wofford, D-Pa., and Arlen Specter, R-Pa., to support the Sentencing Uniformity Act of 1993, which would end mandatory minimum sentences. The "Hope and Justice for the Inmates" rally was sponsored by the National Congress of Puerto Rican Rights, which believes mandatory minimum sentencing is destroying
families and the prison system is overcrowded with non-violent, first-time offenders.
