Would provide urban areas a much needed free work force to make it look nicer & make where habitual drug users could keep a job instead of having to serve time & lose employment.
Because it makes too much sense.

All prison does is make you into a much more well connected criminal. There is no rehabilitation in prison only survival in a predatory society.
Yep.
My heads going to explode from agreeing with people on here too much.

Non-violent felons can also include burglary charges. There are a lot of repeat offenders of that. Personally, I don't want them robbing my vehicle, residence or business because the local DAs keep plea-bargaining them out of their repeat offender status and getting them released. This frees them up to commit more crimes, not seek gainful employment.
At what point does society get to be protected from the criminal and their overwhelming recidivism?
I think there can be a middle ground. Say "nonviolent drug offenders"?

Unfortunately it'll never get done. That puts money and services into areas that won't funnel your boys money. Arresting folks and paying your political friends to house them is much better for the politicians and the people who pay to get them elected.

It's safe to say the prison services lobby has 80% of the U.S. Congress in its pockets. Don't expect change anytime soon.
