what are your thoughts on the current drug penalty laws?Do they seem “fair” in light of other crimes, such as murder, rape, kidnapping, etc? (use research to backup your argument) How has the war on drugs impacted prison populations? Are there any dangers associated with the drug penalties and prison overpopulation? What about the cost to the states and taxpayers? Are we not tough enough on drugs? What are the states and federal government doing to address these issues? ( Research places like California to see how they are dealing with prison overpopulation of non-violent offenders.) Please be sure to meet the requirements for posting in the discussion board.
