The law made major revisions by re-establishing the federal death penalty.

This act, signed by President Reagan, was the first comprehensive revision of the criminal code since the 1900s. Some revisions of it were: increasing federal penalties for cultivating/possessing/transfering marijuana, new code for hostage taking, and re-instituting the federal death penalty.
