I have a feeling he'll need a thread in the long run.

Justice Department reverses directive to phase out private prisons - POLITICO
“This will restore BOP's flexibility to manage the federal prison inmate population based on capacity needs,” the spokesman said in a statement.
In an totally unrelated note:
Spicer: Expect to see 'greater enforcement' of federal marijuana law - POLITICO
Spicer suggested that the administration is opposed to encouraging recreational marijuana use and connected it with the crisis with opioid addiction in some areas.

“When you see something like the opioid addiction crisis blossoming in so many states around this country, the last thing we should be doing is encouraging people,” he said.

1% of the population isn't enough I guess.

I guess it falls to me to devil's advocate for the prison memo.


I have no doubt the Justice Department under Obama will be adjudicated as far less aggressive than what's to come, and to have taken a dimmer attitude on for-profit prisons.

With that said, the Justice Department under Obama was just fine with letting it be up to the Bureau of Prisons until his administration was 95% over. Let's make sure the halo shines upon that which is deserving of it.


If one thinks the proper route to a better society is aggressive enforcement, the current budgetary realities require the continued use of for-profit prisons. Enforcement now costs more, and generates more inmates. More inmates costs more.

Federally, it's not legal at all. It's time to fix that, instead of ignoring that it isn't.

Sessions is a prosecutor. I'm going to hate him and almost everything he does. What's been mentioned so far included.

It makes sense now, but I wasn't aware this was going to be the megathread. I thought the thread was supposed to be about the OP.

I think prisons are a travesty in general, the private ones even more so.

We already know. This very topic was covered extensively in this documentary available on Netflix. Mass incarceration is not a game. And marijuana prohibition has played a major role in the issue.

I don't necessarily see a crackdown by the Feds on recreational marijuana as a mass incarceration play. The Feds care about trafficking.

The problem is that the line between "possession" and "trafficking" is very blurry.

The Drug War Drives Mass Incarceration and Racial Disparities in U.S. Judicial Systems

There were more than 1.5 million drug arrests in the U.S. in 2014. The vast majority – more than 80 percent – were for possession only. At year-end 2013, 16 percent of all people in state prison were incarcerated for a drug law violation – of whom nearly 50,000 were incarcerated for possession alone. More than 50 percent of people in federal prisons are incarcerated for drug law violations. Almost 500,000 people are behind bars for a drug law violation on any given night in the United States – ten times the total in 1980.

Drug law violations have been the main driver of new admissions to prison for decades. An analysis by Brookings Institution found that there were more than 3 million admissions to prison for drug offenses between 1993 and 2009 in the United States. In each year during that period, more people were admitted to prisons for drug law violations than violent crimes. During that same timeframe, there were more than 30 million drug arrests.

People of color experience discrimination at every stage of the judicial system and are more likely to be stopped, searched, arrested, convicted, harshly sentenced and saddled with a lifelong criminal record. This is particularly the case for drug law violations.

Black people comprise 13 percent of the U.S. population, and are consistently documented by the U.S. government to use drugs at similar rates to people of other races. But black people comprise 31 percent of those arrested for drug law violations, and nearly 40 percent of those incarcerated in state or federal prison for drug law violations.

Similarly, Latinos make up 17 percent of the U.S. population, but comprise 20 percent of people in state prisons for drug offenses and 37 percent of people incarcerated in federal prisons for drug offenses. In 2013, Latinos comprised almost half (47 percent) of all cases in federal courts for drug offenses.
National-level data on arrests of people of Latino ethnicity are incomplete. Yet among drug arrest incidents in 2014 in which ethnicity was reported, more than 22 percent of those arrested were Latino. State and local level data show that Latinos are disproportionately arrested and incarcerated for drug possession violations.

The thing is ... for the vast majority of people to enjoy "recreational use" of marijuana that means somebody is involved in interstate "trafficking" to one degree or another.

Yes, but there isn't much of a question anymore of whether it's real trafficking, or just an excuse to throw brown people in prison.

Also, there's some low-hanging fruit here... the states who have told the federal government to go **** itself. Side benefit: these are dealers who won't shoot at you.

I'm assuming Sessions may be vile, but he's not an idiot. He's already got an excuse to throw a metric ****ton of brown people in jail, and is going to get hit with a huge bill for it. Maybe he's dumb enough to use his little remaining resources to rack up the body count over penny-ante shit, but I'm hoping he's not.

That said, I've been surprised before.

Ah, I tried to communicate that with "I have a feeling he'll need a thread in the long run." but I can see that could be misconstrued as a prediction rather than a proclamation.

Thanks. To further clarify, if Trump is so focused on jobs, cracking down on one of the more successful, newest industries seem like a bad place to start (Though I acknowledge he's completely entitled to).

As I said in the quoted post, I'm willing to accept Sessions is vile as a premise.

What I'm saying is he still has jurisdictional boundaries. They are such he can be racist AF to immigrants, but not so much with weed smokers.

If he was a State's Attorney, this gets flipped.

All of the pot sold in CO is grown in CO. There would be no jurisdiction for the feds to crack down on trafficking here (except for those who buy in bulk to ship it to other states - they're already running a great risk by doing that anyways).

I know, because I smoke a large portion of the pot grown & sold in CO, and am not (yet) in federal-pound-me-in-the-ass prison. Anyone get the reference?

At least here, the demographics are those who are alive. Anecdotal as it may be, the culture (read: stigma) of pot has largely dissolved over the last few years. People treat it like drinking now (or at least close enough) from that standpoint.

I don't know how the law applies but I would point out your conclusion is misguided because Obama was not enforcing the law in those states.

— Drug Enforcement Administration, Notice of denial of petition to reschedule marijuana (2001)
Given that medical marijuana is regularly prescribed to cancer patients nowadays, I believe the DEA is on extremely thin legal ground when it comes to the classification of Marijuana as schedule 1, and they know they would lose it were to go through the courts (hence the DADT approach to pot in the states).

I am no lawyer, and I am undoubtedly biased, but that's my take on why we're seeing what we're seeing from both (R) and (D) administrations on state-level legal pot. A single legit study showing the promise of medicinal pot, even if ambiguous, would lead to the premise of the schedule I classification "undisputed that there are no medicinal uses..." to fail not only the three legal requirements for Schedule 1, but also the precedent used to enforce pot regulations. By leaving it as it is, the DEA can still take down the pot coming in across the border without anyone thinking twice about it and slapping schedule 1 charges against the traffickers.

That'd be my demographic assumption.

Of course the opioid angle is bullshit. But the administration certainly isn't treading on new ground by pretending pot is as bad as other drugs.

Regardless, it can't both be schedule 1 and not at the same time. If medicinal exists, it cannot be schedule 1 "recreationally". I get that it helps them maintain the appearance of enforcement and the status quo, but the enforcement questions naturally comes after the "this cannot both be schedule 1 and used medicinally" reality is adjudicated.

He indeed was having people in California arrested for dispensing (and something mere possession of) state-legal medical MJ. It appears you forgot. Rose-colored glasses?

I think there was a petition just last year for it to be reconsidered both in light of its preexisting medicinal use and because recatagorization would allow for better studies. It was denied of course. I don't recall on what grounds but I suspect denying medical science.

I just don't understand the resistance.
