Not to harsh anyone's mellow but this is just federal private prisons and most private prisons are contracted at the state level.

I was gonna say this too.

Also, oh no the poor prisoners. Stop breaking the law assholes.

Fact: About 750,000 people are arrested every year for marijuana offenses in the U.S. There's a lot of variation across states in what happens next. Not all arrests lead to prosecutions, and relatively few people prosecuted and convicted of simple possession end up in jail. Most are fined or are placed into community supervision. About 40,000 inmates of state and federal prison have a current conviction involving marijuana, and about half of them are in for marijuana offenses alone; most of these were involved in distribution. Less than one percent are in for possession alone.

Do you want me to post the gif again?

I pronounce it JIF in this case.

•A survey by the Bureau of Justice Statistics showed that 0.7% of all state inmates were behind bars for marijuana possession only (with many of them pleading down from more serious crimes).

What do you want me to say? I already have stated my opinions on pot, many, MANY, loving times.

I also understand the.....Shudder......other side.

Legalize it, I agree.

If you wish a parody thread, I can accommodate. If you want a serious discussion, which seams to be the theme, no matter how ironic it seems in this thread, I can also accommodate.

I'm flexible like that. ;-*

I wasnt even replying to you originally, wtf are you going on about?
