Jenkins announced Wednesday morning that she would reinstate a narcotics weight threshold that determines when a defendant will face felony charges or be eligible for rehabilitative court.
Jenkins also announced that she may also seek enhanced penalties for drug-related crimes committed within 1,000 feet of a school and, in some cases, will request pretrial detention. Jenkins has vowed to be more aggressive than Boudin in prosecuting drug crimes, but maintained that her focus will be on repeat offenders and dealers.

Reasonable. Repeat offenders and dealers getting extra attention.
