The fact that the U.S. can't get control of its drug problem isn't really the fault of the judicial system.
Given the beliefs of our populace, that drug use isn't really all that bad, and given an antiquated jail system, I can't imagine what could be done to correct it. But that's just me.
I never liked jails anyway. It's one of the worst forms of punishment, IMHO. It serves as an ineffective deterrent, and yet jail is cruel. That's a bad combination.
