      A lot of people seem to still not know this: The US is utterly unremarkable in the proportion of prisoners serving time for drug charges. We have the biggest prison population because of our violence and how we punish it. http://www.samefacts.com/2016/02/drug-policy/drug-offenders-in-u-s-prisons-an-international-comparison/ …pic.twitter.com/XG1d6zpvqh

      Tanehisi Coates was the only person I’ve read who mentioned that if we really want to undo mass incarceration we have to come to terms with how we’ve punished *violent* offenders. Until then all we’re doing is tinkering around the edges.

      An essential point! But in fact a lot of people have said that and have been for a while—see for instance recent Pulitzer-winner @JFormanJr’s long review-essay of The New Jim Crow

          I think “tinkering around edges” is inaccurate. Drug ~20%, property another ~20%, “other” another ~10%. Well, now we’re at ~700k human beings in state prisons. Not “edges,” imho.

          Yes. Not tinkering. Crucial steps. Just can't stop there.

          Also, the drug proportion stat conceals how high the drug imprisonment rate is in the US (since the proportion who have drug convictions is of a hyper-inflated total prison population).

          Quoting from the tweet "We have the world's biggest prison population" - I don't think that's concealing anything!

          I tried to address that by writing "also" instead of "but" :) The rest of the original quote "because of our violence and how we punish it" reads to me like the focus on proportions underemphasizes the high rate of drug imprisonment. [revised]

          How about: "We have the biggest prison population because of our violence and how we punish it and because of how we punish drug use and sales and property crimes." Granted that it's less catchy.

          I was trying to explain something different. How do people sit in the burbs and say they are anti-mass incarceration yet recall Persky and say we need to crack down more on violence? Because they believe something that isn't true, that the US prison pop is mostly pot smokers.
