I don't know about you guys but That does not surprise me one bit. 
My question is what about the thousands of black men in jail for nothing else than the possession of Marijuana, nothing else, serving 20 and 30 years sentences? No violence involved, no theft.
 Many children deprived of a father figure in the home? I don't see any Heroin users and pushers who are white going to jail.
All of this does not make any sense, at least they should release the people locked up, don't you think?

My understanding of the US correctional system is that the jailing of people is alot about business. Private prisons are about profits.

Rogue, do you know that we are still unable to pass legislation for medical Marijuana in Jamaica. Do you know that it is tied to IMF loans to such countries?

The sad part about the whole thing is the majority of those in prison are black people. They are in jail for up to 30 years for simply possession of Marijuana.

We are told they are bad people because they do the dirty work of selling the commodity, their share is jail time. What a world.
