Murder, rape and assault represent a minority of people in prison[0], and a full quarter of people in jail nationwide are only in jail because they can't afford bail.

If you believe people should be in jail for non-violent drug offenses, we can agree to disagree. I'm primarily a libertarian, and believe in the basic ethos of bodily autonomy.
