Proceeding contribution from Lord Cobbold (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 19 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prisons: Population.
Prisons: Population
My Lords, does not the prison population relate, at least in part, to the policy of drugs prohibition? Prohibition has not been very successful. Is there any possibility of having a policy to allow for the decriminalisation, proper control and taxation of drugs, which would reduce the prison population accordingly?
