ANNOTATION: A profile of those individuals who are incarcerated due to marijuana-related offenses is proffered. Sections comprising this report are: summary; scratching the surface -- the same old story, looking at the laws, and possession vs. trafficking; beyond the claims; untangling the statistics -- numbers don't lie but they can deceive, state prison system, federal court system, sentencing on the level, how plea bargains distort the picture, what the headlines don't reveal, and crimes and punishment; a system that works -- alternatives to incarceration; and conclusion.
