Going back to the 70s shows a shift of our approach to incarcerating people, especially blacks. Less than a decade and prison admissions tripled while the percentages of blacks incarcerated doubled. Reagan's woefully bad 'war on drugs' only made those numbers worse as we started doling out longer sentences for minor drug offenses.

The end result? More people in prison at taxpayer expense, but little damage to those profiting from illegal drug trade.
