The popular PBS program NOVA series is looking for interview subjects. NOVA reporter Michael Pope is looking for people who were sentenced to jail or prison based on a mandatory minimum, particularly sentences that seem “outrageous” or “significant.” An example would be a six-month sentence for felony assault on a police officer because of spitting at him. If you are such an individual or know of one, Pope would like you to contact him directly at michaelleepope@gmail.com
