Typically, the federal government prosecutes between 60,000 and 80,000 people per year, along with a much smaller amount of corporate prosecutions. Drug Crimes form the largest category, but immigration charges, firearms violations, pornography and internet crimes and the various types of fraud charges round out the list. Together, these categories account for well over 80% of federal prosecutions. There are criminal charges mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but as a practical matter, the criminal code is established by Congress. Congress has enacted generally harsh sentences and there is an extensive array of mandatory minimum sentences and mandatory consecutive sentences that attorneys and defendants need to be aware of.
