the post war-on-drugs prison system in America is heavily tied up in this issue as well as so many others that plague us today. 4x the prisoners since 1980, more percentage of the population locked up than in the former Soviet Russia, these are mind blowing things that are unfortunately never addressed in our political debates. They need to be addressed NOW. (along with inequality of wealth education etc etc IMO the infant mortality rates among black americans says all you need to know about the state of race and equality in america today).
