Yeah but it creates an societal incentive to categorize people as criminals and send them to prison.
I think there’s a lot of things on the fence today where view it as not immoral, but for some reason are still crimes. For example, non violent marijuana cases. Incentives like free prison labor sometimes adds to that in an unhealthy way
I would say the problem here is stupid laws putting people in jail for being in possession of drugs for personal consumption. I think it's a separate concern.
Laws are a political thing not a justice system thing. The justice system enforces the laws and penalties. I guess they can choose not to enforce laws, but again, politics....
