Unequal Justice

Jonathan Pollard is the only person in the history of the United States to receive a life sentence for spying for an American ally.
On November 21, 2008, Pollard entered the 24th year of his life sentence, with no end in sight.
The maximum sentence today for such an offence is 10 years.
The median sentence for this offence is 2 to 4 years.
...
Aldrich Ames who spied for an enemy nation (the Soviet Union), committed treason, and was responsible for the deaths of at least 11 American agents, received the same sentence as Jonathan Pollard.
Pollard's only indictment was one count of passing classified information to an ally.
Pollard spent 7 years in solitary confinement, in the harshest unit of the harshest prison in the Federal system.
