Yesterday, two members of the billionaire drug kingpin Sackler family appeared before a Congressional panel. Kathe Sackler and David Sackler, heirs to the Sackler drug empire, were questioned via a video hearing. The Sackler family owns Purdue Pharma, the company that produces Oxycontin.
They answered questions about their role in generating and profiting from the opioid crisis, which has killed more than 470,000 people in the United States. The option to testify before Congress instead of serving prison time is not one accorded to the 2.3 million prisoners in the United States, many of whom are incarcerated for drug and drug-related offenses. Drug offenses make up 46 percent of all convictions in federal prisons.
