RE: Drug War Stories: Ate in the Big Apple

in #war6 years ago

any sort of contraband can get someone killed in jail, if someone got a joint and smoked it and then did not give the guy he got it from enough honeybuns he might catch a beating or worse right?

Sort:  

well why the hell would we send non violent people to such an unsafe place? Good use of resources? If that is the issue then don't have stupid contraband, why treat people like children and not let them make their own choices and expect them to keep that way when they out? Why not actually help people for all the lives and loot these interventions gobble up?

drugs ought to be legal but they probably still won't be allowed in jail

yea but much of the people in jails for using wouldnt be there, so there would be a lot less demand in the jail economy. And perhaps there would no longer be jails.

there would still be jails, drug prohibition surly increases the number of people who get incarcerated but many if not most of them are assholes who would be there anyhow for something else. A corner crack dealer wouldn't go legit if crack was legal, they would find some other criminal enterprise.

disagree i think most people would go legit if they could make more and safer money.

but would the crack store hire someone with a lengthy criminal record or a college graduate? Would that guy be able to beat Walmart's price without evading taxes?
