And We Don't Imprison Fairly?
I found this interesting chart online in reference to people who have been imprisoned for drugs. I find it ironic that the issue of race and prison seem to come up, quite a bit, around election season. But are politicians reading the numbers correctly?

Interesting but sad. I would be interested to see the break down of the types of drugs though. Does this pertain more to pot or cocaine or injection drugs? I'm also curious if this includes alcohol in some way like drinking and driving.
