I wasn't talking about people being put in prison for drugs, I said people who use drugs who are put in for minor crimes (such as robbery ect) as they may have been high at the time and were they not on drugs may not have commited the crime in the first place.
Also about people having to do something major to get a place in prison... well what about parents who are given prison sentences for their child being truant from school? That's in the U.S aswell as here. That is an absolute joke, from being truant myself there is nothing my dad could have done to make me go to school if I didn't want to, He used to drop me off at the doors and watch me go in and the second he left I was out of there, Yes sometimes the parents may be responsible but most of the time they wouldn't be able to do a thing to stop it and putting the parents in jail or giving them a fine wouldn't make any difference alot of the time!
Also there are loads of occasions where people have been sentenced to time in prison over minor crimes. I've watched enough John Walsh and Sally's shows to know that!
