Men Overwhelmingly Imprisoned in the Drug War

According to the the drug war prison facts just being a man makes you more likely to be imprisoned. While that's hardly news to most of you, the gender ratio will be. Based on my calculations, there are 15-16 men in prison for every woman on the charge of drug offences. If some of you thought the drug war was a war on men, albeit an undeclared one, the sad fact is you could well be right. On a side note, the site has a special section on women but not on men. Care for some activism, anyone? dmcvay@drugwarfacts.org
