The sadest part of the drug war is how it turns otherwise law abiding third parties into criminals. Despite the worst efforts of liars and looters the drug war continues unabated. Perhaps it is time for a change. Former Federal Judge thinks so, doctor Carl Hart things so. What do you think?
2 prison "corrections" officers smuggled some weed into a jail after taking some bribes from some inmates friends. The inmates then sold the harmless substance that probably made people's incarcerations less inhumane and more tolerable. The article asserts the group planned the operation for a year and a half before starting.
The article rambles on about how the likely poorly paid plebians betrayed trust to the state and "potentially jeapardized the safety of staff and inmates," according to US attorney Richard P. Donoghue who sounds happy that the state will now actively harm these citizens for non violent conduct. The article didnt mention any actual harm done or victims who happened to be murdered or raped or assaulted or even stolen from by this conduct. Yet for some reason "society" or those who rule find cause for blame and punitive acts.
