PROHIBITION CAUSES CRIME

Re: Pretrial credit has validity, Oct. 11: The congestion in our legal 
system is not due
to a lack of prosecutors or enough grease on the wheels of justice. The 
congestion is
due to the all-time high arrest rate for simple possession of cannabis. 
Overall, crime
has been going down since 1992. Prohibition causes increased crime.
