Instead of pushing for legislation in '93-94, Clinton is now opining that all of those hundreds of thousands of folks his Drug Warriors put in in prison maybe shouldn't be there.
The US Corrections System currently has 458,000 Drug War Prisoners. Plus the number of people under some form of correctional supervision -- jail, prison, probation, or parole -- has reached a record 6.3 million. Go to the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) semiannual report on corrections. That report, as well as a treasure trove of related statistics is available online at <http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/correct.htm>.
