Fully 24 percent of inmates in U.S. prisons are nonviolent drug offenders. The drug war has been adding to a growing U.S. prison population for the past 40 years.

In an exclusive special report, PJTV has uncovered evidence of some fancy footwork going on in Hidalgo County, Texas. PJTV cites a whistle-blowing deputy sheriff who claims the county sheriff’s department, under Lupe Trevino, is feeding the federal government a line by routinely “downgrading” the severity of its crime problem. The intent: To make the fast-growing border region appear safer than it actually is, and thus falsely justify the value of some $6 million in grant money allocated to the county under the COPS program. PJTV’s Bryan Preston is on the scene in McAllen, Texas, while Alexis Garcia anchors this special report.
