LEGALIZE DRUGS TO LESSEN JAIL CROWDS
To the editor:
The solution to overcrowding at jails and prisons everywhere is
simple: Just decriminalize the possession of substances for personal
use.
It's far past time we realize the policies we have been pursuing for
years have not worked and will never work!
It's costing us billions of dollars every year to pursue failed
policies. Isn't it time to change?
