Drugs Swelling Inmate Ranks
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. Today, the United States holds more human beings in prisons than any other country, both as a percentage of the population and in counting total numbers.
Loyola University Prof. Daniel D’Amico shows how the war on drugs has led to significant increases in the U.S. prison population and argues that perhaps this is an ineffective way to address drug use in America.

Border Sheriff Does Two-Step
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.
