CRACK DOWN ON DRUGS

I was sentenced to life in prison on June 9 on federal drug charges,
and I have one question that I am finding difficult to get an answer
for: Why have the powers-that-be in government sat idle for the last
25 years while South American countries grew, processed and then
unleashed cocaine and heroin on American society?

These two drugs have cost America more than 100 twin towers, and who
knows how many more, in lives. Why would any government let this
happen to its society? We have a cocaine epidemic in America. Every
city has crack houses, every neighborhood has a crack corner.

Look what has happened to our society in 25 years. Look at today's
youth. You can't put a price tag on society's decline. Why would a
government let this happen?
