Because its unjustly robs people of their rights and freedoms for stupid drug possession charges.

Did you miss the part where most people are in the US prison system due to drug related offenses?
Its literally in the chart.

The US prison system is a human rights abuse at the very least, and I would argue could meaningfully constitute a crime against humanity.

So you’re telling me there are hundreds of thousands more people locked up in prison for victimless offences and that this is only a “small portion” (your words) of folks locked up in the US prison system?
And you think that’s a good thing? The US locks more people for then any other country on earth by a long shot including the Soviet Union at its height.
Ok enjoy lol.
