A somewhat vain look at the life of an overworked, undersexed, 40 yr. old, Caucasian man.

Our Government is at war. Not with the
Taliban or Al-quaida, but with its own people. By percentage, the US
Government incarcerates more of its own citizens than any other civilized
nation. This would not be the case if it were not for the War on
Drugs. Many of our inmates are doing time for non-violent drug
charges. I once read that the cost of incarcerating a prisoner has exceeded
$65,000 per year. Considering the nature of non-violent drug
offenders, don't you think that this money could be better spent on
treatment rather than incarceration. At the federal and state levels,
officials are insisting that the taxpayer pony up for more prison
construction. This would not be necessary if the much needed cell
space were freed by releasing non-violent drug offenders into drug treatment
programs. The problem is especially severe in our federal prison
system, where 3 out of every 4 prisoners are serving time for drug related
offenses. |
