The Dallas Morning News has released a three-part investigative series titled 'Meth: The Prison Pipeline', revealing significant disparities in methamphetamine sentencing across federal judicial districts. The investigation, conducted by reporter Kevin Krause and data journalist José Luis Adriano, analyzed over 670,000 crimes from the U.S. Sentencing Commission.

Key findings show that meth sentences in the Northern District of Texas are notably severe, with a median sentence of 10 years compared to the national median of 6 years. First-time, non-violent offenders can face decades in prison without parole, costing taxpayers up to $1.4 billion annually. The investigation highlights that meth trafficking carries harsher punishments than fentanyl, despite causing fewer deaths and hospitalizations.
