I love Jello Biafra GROW MORE POT! It's ridiculous that this plant is considered a deadly drug with no medical value (to the federal government that is).
The prison population in the US is more than the combined populations of Alaska and Wyoming
The Prison Population Rate in the US (2.03 million people) is larger than ANY other country-- only RUSSIA (.86 million people) and CHINA (1.51 million people) come close. (2003)
in 2003: 55% of Federal Prison inmates were drug offenders this is 86,972 individuals
in 2002: 21.4% of all adults in State Prisons were drug offenders this is 265,000 individuals
of 440,670 Jail inmates in 2002-- 112,447 were for drugs... about 25% 48,823 were possession charges, 56,574 for trafficking/sale
it costs between $20,000-$30,000 per prisoner per year lets do the math $25,000 times 351,972=$8,799,300,000
just to pay the prison costs...this does not include catching the "criminal"
According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy Feds spend $3,000,000,000 (around that) to incarcerate drug offenders
in 2005 there were 265,100 state prison inmates for DRUGS: 47.5% were African American 23.27% were Latino/Hispanic and 24.33% were Caucasian
it gets worse:
"Among the more than 2.1 million offenders incarcerated on June 30, 2004 and estimated 576,000 were black males between 20 and 39 years old"
Information above has a variety of sources, I am personally quoting from "Drug War Facts" 5th Edition, Edited by Douglas McVay-- Thank you Doug for all your work!
Imagine what our country could do with this kind of money...imagine the innocent lives that would be spared...
No Victim No Crime
the ACA started in 1870 to find ways to get cheap labor following the
13th Amendment:
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this arti
Please take a serious look at our profile-read some of our latest blogs...the prison system is being used in an unjust way. Prisoner populations are growing at an alarming rate and the American Correctional Association is lobbying constantly for less freedom, more profits. Founded in 1870, the ACA is a huge lobbying power in Washington D.C. This year New Orleans will be host to the 138th Annual (get this) "Congress" of Corrections. I am trying to form a protest against this. There are many problems with the US Economy that can be fixed by ending the control of the Prisons over the People. There is a major market in the US for cheap labor, and we have increasingly turned to prisoners, many of whom are working in prisons owned by the corporation they are working for... More than half of the prison population is there for non-violent crimes. I am NOT advocating drug use, however, it is not the responsibility of the government to say what we do in our homes at this level. Current drug law practices and the lobbying efforts and past successes of the ACA have destroyed countless families, lives, and lives' works-many while I typed this note. I have very few contacts in your area and would appreciate any support you can lend to the effort described in our blog. Check out the links on our page, drop a line, tell us what you think, tell your friends to check us out--even if you are down with the cause...educate as many people as possible...
