I really think we should be trying to reduce incarceration rates, rather than continuing with a penal model that is clearly not working. The penalties for non-violent crimes need to be (imo) drastically changed- so they involve community service that benefits society, rather than incarceration, which is costing us an arm and a leg (and quite possibly a good chunk of the communal brain, as well.) Is this route being pursued? From my perspective, drug offenses are dealt with 0 tolerance from law enforcement. Who is out there in a position to make a change such as the one you are advocating? I certainly would like to support them if I only knew who they were.
