Fuck yeah, Maryland.
The pardons will forgive low-level marijuana possession charges for an estimated 100,000 people
So an interesting average of 1.75 convictions per person.
The population of Maryland is 6.165 million. 100k people is 1.6% of the state’s population.
That seems insane.
America has had a gulag system in place since the Civil War. When the Civil Rights Act finally came through, conservatives needed a new way to criminalize being black.
On the other hand, 0.7% of the U.S. population is in prison right now, so that actually sounds low if anything. Disturbing, but it does sound low.
Seems like Maryland governor is a bud.
