Stats are prison population per 100,000.

Webby, I believe a staggering percentage of the US jail population is drug related. Mandatory minimums are FAR WORSE than any three strike law.
In some cases a college pot smoker, son of a judge, maybe a future President even, can face decades in prison on a first offense.
In a sense these are political prisoners since politics set the basis for their sentencing.
