incarceration

America has the highest incarceration rate of all other countries. Jail's are over crowded and American tax payers pay for the inmates. A huge amount of American's have been arrested for simple possesion, which I believe to be absurd. These are not people doing any harm or causing any problems. Yet they serve jail time and have to pay huge fines. If weed were to be at least decriminalized then not only would incarceration rate go down, but people would not feel so threatened by the government. Of course this is my personal opinion.
