Quote:I think close to 70% of inmates incarcerated are on small weed charges. Without them there is no profit in private penal systems. Legalize it and you won't need 70% of the prison space currently occupied.

Do you have a source for that?

I don't know the number, but "70% of inmates incarcerated on small weed charges" seems way too high. Perhaps it depends on the definition of small weed charges.

The sun's not yellow, it's chicken.
