Are overly stiff drug policies crowding up your prisons?

Don't worry about reevaluating policies that make the equivalents of drunkards spend more time in jail than violent offenders! Just make all the inmates take turns using the bed! That'll work, right?!

BOISE, Idaho (Reuters) - With space scarce as the U.S. prison population grows, a top Idaho lawmaker is proposing that inmates share beds by sleeping in shifts, a practice sometimes used by the U.S. military.
"Why does every inmate need his or her own bed?" asked State Sen. Robert Geddes. "The military does it all the time."
The issue arises as Idaho and other states stiffen penalties for drug-related crimes, putting a premium on prison space. Idaho has nearly 7,000 inmates, and that number is growing by nearly 7 percent a year.

a great idea! and while we're at it, let's stop all this nonsense of having people build new houses all over the place, and just have 3 lots of people living in the same house in shifts! one lot can be out at work, one lot asleep, and the others watching TV or whatever sick depraved entertainment the good people of boise, idaho indulge in :icon14:

What gets me is how he's using the military as an example for his approach.
As if prison inmates share the great training, wonderful comeraderie and obsessive organizational skills of a platoon who depend on each other for their lives.
Hey, if it works for the 101st Airborne, then Fucky McAssfuck and Sebben Elebbenrobber here shouldn't have any problem at all!
Jesus.
