        Words can't properly describe how perverse the system of mass incarceration truly is. I don't even think people realize how gross it is. How so many have been indoctrinated to accept it as normal. It gives me headaches sometimes thinking about it

        The other issue is threatening innocent people with 25-30 year sentences to get them to take a plea for 2-3 years rather than risk going to court to prove their innocence.

        I’ll say this again, I don’t agree with you on most things. BUT you are right on this one. We need criminal justice reform so bad. We are still locking people up over a plant!

        Hell, they locked up Tommy Chong for mailing pipes. The war on drugs needs social solutions, not mandatory sentences for selling a bag of weed just to get to a higher up.
