76 percent of all inmates end up back in prison in 5 years. Food for thought.

Well, so be it. That's the result of the choices you made. If I assault a bunch of women, it's then going to be more challenging for me to find a date on a Friday night. That's what keeps people from committing crimes - your life is probably going to suck after.

I've got a problem with the # of people in for drug offenses - it isn't high enough. 511 people have died from fentanyl ODs in SF alone this year.

47% of federal inmates are drug possession. 99% of them are on marijuana who you can’t OD, is legal in several states, little risk of fentantly that could be reduced to 0 if it was legal nationwide which would cause prisons to loose too much money
