Today’s level of mass incarceration is unprecedented in history. There are more black men under correctional control today than there were under slavery in 1850. 4 out of 5 drug arrests are for simple possession, 80% for marijuana. Most people in state prison for drug offenses have no history of violence. The “War On Drugs” is economically inefficient. It has failed to reduce drug use and is a human rights disaster. Treating drug use and addiction as a public health issue is more effective at rehabilitating individuals and benefitting the wider community than criminalization. … Enough myths. Let’s combat the economic and legalRead More →
