Free the prisoners. Eliminate the death penalty. Legalize marijuana. America’s recession is forcing states to reshape their criminal justice systems.
When it comes to our "great" american judicial system, I find it appalling. Many of our "offenders" are in jail for petty crimes. Most are drug related offenses, that hold no merrit. I beleive we should legalize marijuana, or at least decriminalize it. It would free up our prision system, save tax payer money, and even with regulation, bring in state and federal revenue.
