Mass Release for California Drug War Prisoners?
Word from Sacramento comes that the Governator will be taking the unprecedented step of releasing up to 20,000 non-violent prisoners from California jails in an effort to ease the outrageous overcrowding there. Frankly, once you rule out those in for violence and the sex-crimes, you’re mostly left with the dope smokers, so even though everyone seems to be dancing around this, it’s apparent what’s about to happen.
Since the medi-pot laws have made smoking cannabis there a non-issue, it’s insane that they have people filling up prisons because of it. But I guess no one looks to the drug war for logical perspective.
