CRIME/DRUGS/JOE BIDEN: “Anybody who gets convicted of a drug crime, not one that is terms of massive selling, but consumption, they shouldn’t go to prison. They should go to mandatory rehabilitation. Instead of building more prisons, I’ve been proposing for some time we build rehabilitation centers. Mandatory. They’ve got to go to mandatory rehab, but it’s not part of their record when they get out if they finish it. Because the point you made, you get a record and it stays with you. ‘Sorry, you can’t get the job because you did the following.’ Even if it’s a misdemeanor. We shouldn’t be putting anybody in jail for that.”
