Below follows a list of names of prisoners who would like to be written to and who are in prison on extended internments due to the "War on Drugs." None of these people harmed the person or the propertyof another, and they are not in jail due to any violent act. There are over half a million people in prison in the United States for possession or distribution of Marijuana, LSD, Psyclosilbin and other related substances. These prisoners generally serve longer terms than prisoners incarcerated for rape, attempted murder, armed robbery and kidnaping. In fact, in the most recent federal sentencing guidelines, the minimum sentence for attempted murder with bodily harm was 6.5 years and the max was 8.1, while the minimum sentence for LSD possession was 10.1 years with a max of 13.9. I hope that you take the opportunity to write some of these people, because it will be a truly educational experience for you. Not only will you get to brighten up the day of someone who is in the most dismal situation possible, you will learn a great deal about the enormous costs of the war on drugs. Most who have written are fascinated at the similarities these people have to the themselves or other people they know, and it is a big eye opener from the commonly held view that all prisoners are animals to be held in the utmost contempt. The most conservative estimate of the cost of incarcerating these people is around 15 Billion dollars (which does not include loss of their income to the economy or any incidental costs of their being incarcerated such as welfare support to their families, etc..). My greatest hope is that some of you will learn from this that the current approach of locking up the drug offender is futile and begin to think about approaches to this issue from a different perspective. Most importantly I hope that the human costs of the War on drugs becomes painfully evident as you see that these masses of people we are locking away DO have much to offer and such a tragic waste of human resources are being squandered. Certainly another avenue of addressing these people must be found instead of the wholesale warehousing of non-violent offenders when we need these resources in our penal system to protect us from the violent, predatory criminals that make our streets and homes unsafe and those that put our persons or property in jeopardy Bill Taney, btaney@siu.edu..
