There is this sick war. The people call it the war on drugs. There are two million Americans in jail today. Five hundred thousand more than China. We are five percent of the world s population.
China is twenty-five percent.
We ve got twenty-five percent in the worlds prisons today driven by a jail for profit industry. Of those in jail, ninety percent are high school dropouts, ninety-two percent are functionally illiterate. We must destroy this system because it s destroying our children. We must end the immorality of this system. When the poor, the Black, the Brown are caught with drugs, it s called crime.
