War on Drugs and Prison Overcrowding Analysis CJA/454 November 5, 2012 War on Drugs and Prison Overcrowding Analysis The war on drugs is not just a catch phrase; it is a current way of life for our law enforcement, courts, and otherwise remainder of the criminal justice system.

In some cases, prohibition worsened the need for alcohol. “Prohibition, however, had little effect on the liquor-loving public, and speakeasies, a type of illegal bar, cropped up everywhere” ( Novels 74). In the novel, Dan Cody educates Jay Gatz with all of his knowledge. Fitzgerald states “…it was from Cody that he inherited money—a legacy of twenty-five thousand dollars” (100).

The housing market is what started some of this domino effect but I have not heard of any banks going bankrupt or losing their prior existence like the families and middle class. All the companies that stopped making products in this country have not lost anything either. They have been rewarded instead with tax breaks.

Because of what economists call the specialization of labor,” (Krayewski 2014). Whether non supporters know this or not, immigrants help them out too. With that being said, it leads krayewski to his second reason which is that illegal immigrants already pay taxes. This article states that “In 2006 and estimated eight million illegal immigrants (up to two thirds of the total) paid taxes. Indeed revenue from illegal immigrants is estimated at eleven billion a year to social security alone, and there’s not even a pretense of those payments leading to eventual benefits (Krayewski 2014)”.
