Policies and Prisons

This Blog analyzes current drug policies and related prison realities.

About Me

The continued imprisonment of non-violent drug offenders is an important issue to take action on because the victims of this policy have lost their rights and cannot take action as a free person. These laws are hard to change because the mulitudes of people who oppose them are often trying to fly under the radar, are imprisoned, are an oppressed population, or have lost their voting rights.
