titus2woman covered it pretty well. huge contracts go into feeding and housing criminals. more fines, lawyers fees and court costs. it actually costs america more money and is a burden to the system than to have rehab programs. blacks use more crack and whites use more cocaine, but the penalties for crack are greater than for cocaine even though it is same drug. more minorities are targeted for drug possesion than whites living in affluent neighborhoods even though usage percentages may be the same. studies have been shown to prove this. even conservatives like george will favor decriminalization because it costs the state too much, but the prison contracts are raking in big bucks. more minorities with felonies means less voters and less job opportunities keeping non violent minorities oppressed.
