The attorney general will announce Monday the overhaul of mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent, low-level drug offenders. The overhaul is part of a widespread prison reform package that the Justice Department has worked on for months, the senior department officials said Sunday. Holder will outline the new policies in a speech at the American Bar Association in San Francisco on Monday, and he will highlight the "vicious cycle of poverty, criminality, and incarceration" that has occurred since the mandatory minimums went into effect. "We simply cannot prosecute or incarcerate our way to becoming a safer nation," Holder is expected to say. Read it at The Washington Post SPOILER ALERT 3.

Disney-Area Villa Partially Collapses A resort villa near Florida's Disney World partially collapsed early Monday while another portion is sinking, leaving the building slightly tilted with large cracks and water leaking from within. The villa had been evacuated and luckily no injuries were reported. About 30 percent of the three-story structure collapsed around 3 a.m., Lake County Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Tony Cuellar said. The villa has a sinkhole in the middle, measuring about 40 to 50 feet in diameter. Witnesses said they could hear a cracking sound as the villa began sinking, with onlooker Luis Perez saying, "You could see the building leaning and you could see a big crack at the base of the building."
