DRUG CRIMES KEEP PRISON UNION STRONG

It's disgusting to realize the prison industry's unions have
successfully lobbied to cage more and more citizens over drug-related
so-called crimes ("Drug Crimes Keep Jails Full In '08", Dec. 27, 2008,
Tribune-Star), even though most are surely nonviolent in nature.

It means a great Christmas for prison industry employees at the cost
of freedom for citizens who are otherwise law-abiding people except
for the sequel to prohibition. The prison industry unions should be
proud. What a sham.
