Get the profits out of the prison system, so the prison industry cannot pay off politicians.

Hey I fully agree - that is one way.
Freedom works too, but both can work for this.
The freedom route would be recognizing that it’s not cool to give people power to arm and send bands of armed dudes to incarcerate people for peacefully smoking or selling some weed.
The freedom route I think in this case might be resistant to more forms of influence than just the private prison money.
I also think that we should expand the social safety net to reduce addiction and help the poor and marginalized.

Course I want to do it freely rather than coercively
But that’s so minor a point that I almost crossed it out. I so totally agree with this point. We could help so much more if we didn’t have such a ME culture.
