10 Years for Selling $31 of Marijuana

By Brian Altenhofel - Posted on 21 February 2011

Oklahoma has the highest female incarceration rate in the country, 48% of whom are in prison on non-violent drug charges. This story is a good illustration why.

Seriously? A 30 year suspended sentence for the grandmother, and a 10 year prison sentence for the mother. No prior convictions. $31 frickin' dollars of a naturally occuring plant.

Wow...
