very true. i'd just like to add that most violent crime is a result of drug laws. wasn't it in amsterdam that when whey legalized marijuana the rate of violent crimes dropped by more than half of what it was before?
that being said, prisons probably wouldn't "fill up" as much as there would be a whole lot more room for people that actually belong there.
