[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1185549, member: 44954"] I guess you think America's prison system is working great then? Nearly half of all Americans in prison are there for drug-related crimes. We have the highest rate of incarceration in the entire world, housing 25% of all people in prison on earth. Holder's idea is basically to remove mandatory minimum sentences, and give judges discretion to decide which ones are candidates for rehabilitation. It only applies to non-violent offenders. There's no reason for some pothead to be in prison. We don't put alcoholics in prison just for being drunk. If someone drinks and gets behind the wheel, they are endangering people, and are put in prison. People who have done nothing wrong but being an addict (possession) are not helped by prison, and you pick up the bill for their stay. Total waste. [/QUOTE]
