When I was in college, there were 300,000 people incarcerated in the United States; today, there are 2.3 million. 1/3

Building prisons is a gargantuan urban industry. One of the reasons I want to end the War on Drugs is because almost half of our federal prisoners are nonviolent drug offenders. 2/3

We should change drug addiction from a criminal issue to a health issue. I don’t want a Drug Czar; I want a Recovery Czar. For a fraction of the money ($100B/yr) that we spend on the War on Drugs every year, we can have a world class network of recovery options. 3/3

I believe there are many people who support you, but they're more afraid of Trump, so they will only support the hand-picked dem candidate like Newson. Fear is a strong manipulator in the dem party.

The change you wish is controlled by 2–3 business houses comprising $10TN investments as they need chaos and oppress inhabitants of earth to core while their money churning works. Change is must but path of billions push is required which might or might not work

Do you think violent people should be incarcerated? Do you think we should let violent people that have physically harmed other out of prison? We need more prisons, not less. Your people are letting harmful people out on the streets and we’re just supposed to sit back and smile.

Most of those prisoners are mentally ill, schizophrenia and bipolar. They need more than a counselor- they need disciplined assisted living to make life work for them, most refuse medication, but AL is better than prison.
