DOES DOING TIME REDUCE CRIME?

American prisons are bursting with harmless pot smokers serving life
sentences. Our PM has openly stated that he would privatize
Corrections Canada, and has vowed to pour money into the institution
with his new majority mandate, taking money away from education and
health care. No one has ever smoked a joint and done a drive-by
shooting, or smoked a joint and then raped their daughter. To imprison
anyone for smoking a joint is despotic - no pun intended.
