Those guys in the Sentencing Project are totally crazy.
Looks like we aren't done locking up the bad guys.

We're seeing the emergence of a new ethnic group - Incarcero-Americans!
They already outnumber Native Americans. Isn't that special!

And the point of this is what? That we need more prisons?

Interesting numbers - I want to see the numbers in relation to first, second, third or more time offenses. I'd wager that well over fifty percent of those prisoners have been arrested and convicted of crimes in the past...
While some might view this as evidence that the war on drugs is a failure, I view it as evidence that our judicial system is relatively healthy and our prison system is an absolute failure. One should want to do everything in their power to avoid going to prison for a second time, yet far too many people view it as their second or even first home.

Good. Fewer dopeheads on the street to break into my house or car, commit DUI, burn down the apartment building when their meth lab goes bad, etc.

How about violent crime?
Street robberies? Residential burglaries? Hold-ups? Strong-arm robberies? Smash and grab robberies? Muggings?
If these are down then it is probably because the drug addicts are locked up.

More than half a million people were behind bars for drug offenses...And not one of them are behind bars for smoking pot. I wonder what they did...

Instead of imprisonment, bring back the chain gangs and resurface the hi-ways and by-ways, pick up trash, etc.

If we were really in a drug war, we would shoot every pusher, dealer, maker, mule or grower of criminal drugs.
These types of people put more kids on the road to ruin than anything else.

Think Fenway Park in Boston full to capacity.
Think 65 Fenway Parks full to capacity.
That is how many prisoners we currently house.
Now if we could only charge these prisoners $20 for parking and give it all to me, I'd be able to deposit $45,630,000 into my checking account.

I think it's $27,000 per year to keep an inmate in the Cal Dept of Corrections.
