LEGALIZE DRUGS

The way to ease overcrowding at Cook County Jail, and all others, is
to legalize drugs and tax them like alcohol and tobacco. It would cut
the jail's budget, as well as the budgets of the state's attorney and
the entire judicial system of Illinois.

Think of the cost savings multiplied by thousands of
jurisdictions.
