STOP JAILING DRUG USERS

I am committing on the prison situation in Alabama. All prisons nationwide 
are going to have to pay attention.

People who have been thrown in jail for drug crimes are going to have to 
stop being put into jail for things that are not criminal behavior.

Using drugs is not a crime. I don't care what people have done to try to 
invent crime laws for drugs, it simply is not criminal behavior to use 
drugs and we are going to have to stop putting people in jail for it. That 
would reduce at least half of the prison overpopulation right there.

The people who are the true criminals are the ones who break the 10 
commandments and the ones who commit murder are the ones who need to be put 
to death themselves. Anybody who kills other people is not suitable to live 
among people who are not killers.
