No, the punishment should fit the crime.

There already are. In NY, violations can get you 30 days, misdemeanors up to a year and felonies no less than a year.

If you mean should there be a minimum sentence for every crime, so say you commit murder and someone else steals a pack of gum and you both have a minimum 1 year in prison; then i say absolutely no. If you mean should each crime have its own minimum sentence then i right now i would say no. On small petty crimes i would probably say there shouldn't be a minimum sentence but larger crimes i think definitely should have minimum sentence requirements.
