Like Dan said. This town has a prison with a couple of thousand prisoners, and a large majority of them are there for drug possesion and the like. There's one guy there who was caught with a joint (in the joint) and got 60 years for it. Sixty. Years.

It would also be revealing to post the racial breakdown of our jail population.
Pretty frightening, I'm sure. Hispanic men are hugely overrepresented here in Texas, too. And I saw numbers 20 years ago about Watonga, Oklahoma: Native Americans made up 12% or so of the population but accounted for 90% of all arrests. No "profiling" there...
