It has been well established that increasing the severity of the punishment does almost nothing to deter an ignorant person's choices.
It's bad that the laws are disproportionately imprisoning men and blacks.
It's bad that our incarceration rate is so high.
It's bad that families are torn up over non-violent offenses.
It's bad that criminals commit crimes, too.
I don't think you can point a finger in either direction without missing some of bad guys.
