Prisons. And more "mandatory minimum sentences", because it's worked so well in places like California

The war on drugs is what perpetuates this.

Stop just that, and it all falls away.

It's just one thing, but it's a big thing, and there's a lot of interest in keeping the gravy train rolling the way it is.

People can affect this change, and they can stop this, but it has to be made a priority...and while most people agree it should be done, not many care enough to fight for it.

Perhaps it's OK, as soon enough everyone will have a loved one swept up in the system, and MAYBE then they'll care enough to rally for change.

Imprisoning people for lesser crimes is a waste of public funds.
Bring back the stocks! Serve a few sessions in there and go on about your damn business (albeit, a little sore and smelling of rotten fruits & vegetables)
