US OR: PUB LTE: Legalize Drugs, And You Won’t Need A New

Corvallis Gazette-Times, 02 Apr 2013 – No, Benton County does not need a new jail. Health care for all, better funding for the library and for schools, more food security, yes, but a new jail, no. The majority of people incarcerated by Benton County are there for drug crimes, so the answer is to legalize drugs. Prohibition did not work for alcohol, and it does not work for drugs.
