One thing that we need to be real about in many other countries the reason they do not have as many people in prison is because of the death penality for drug trafficing

Death Penalty for Drugs only increases the Risk of being caught with Drugs to its Maximum Potential, which in turn causes the prices of those drugs to be even higher, which of course is a benefit to the Dealers, especially if they are competition. It is a good point however.
