3 years for 25kg cocaine does not compute especially for a correctional officer. For perspective sake consider that teacher who got 22 years for doing some 17 year old boys.
Must have been some legal loophole. That amount of narcotics is life sentence worthy generally. Or maybe they meant 2.5gms

Boston kimono exhibit in race row
http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-33450391
Thus, a kimono worn by Monet's wife and used in a painting represents: violent historical oppression of the Japanese, is too "ethnic" for people of color, it perpetuates racist stereotypes of Japanese as a bunch of thug kimono-wearers, it allows white people to wear it while people of color were actively punished for wearing the kimono...

Yeah, that's absurd alright.
