"Jails are overflowing and will require an additional prison built per week to keep up."

What would you propose? Free the drug offenders and replace them with real criminals? Or free the drug offenders, close a few prisons, and save some money?

Free non-violent offenders first. Provide treatment to remaining users in jail second and parole those who were able. Consolodate and close prisons next.
