Topic of the week: the war on drugs

LEGALISE DRUGS? THAT'S NO ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM

IT SEEMS that there was a comma in the wrong place in Ian Bell's 
excellent article. The prison industrial complex in the USA has now 
provided more than two million customers for companies like the 
Corrections Corporation of America. Over 900,000 are in jail for drug 
related crimes, 10 times more than stated in the article. The 
Scottish government's response to the new Irish policy was 
predictably pathetic. A Celtic mouse?
