What blows me away is how justice is not served in the US! [View all]

I was looking at 'Lock up' and there is this couple, white female and black male, they were selling drugs as a couple. The female got 8 months and the male got 8-9 years in jail. Both were complicit and I kept wondering how on earth is that justified!
