Most of them are in jail for non-violent drug charges but that is
another rant.
How would you punish theft? Cut off a hand?
Generally, I would drastically cut back on the length of prison terms
for non-violent offenders, and eliminate prison terms for certain
categories of non-violent offenders *unless* there are special
circumstances. Possession of personal amounts of marijuana, for example,
should not be a criminal offense. Dispensing marijuana for medicinal
purposes (with prescription backup) should not be a criminal offense.
