DRUG OFFENDERS: WAR ON DRUGS A FAILURE

The recent letter about a way to save Alabama taxpayers millions of
dollars yearly by releasing nonviolent drug offenders is spot on.

The so-called "war on drugs" has been a miserable failure that has
cost our nation's taxpayers probably billions of dollars -- if not
more -- of wasted money. It's past time to stop wasting our money on a
failed effort and to use it in a more productive way, both nationally
and here in Alabama.
