Prison poisoning the community

Rob sent a link to an interesting cover story at The Black Commentator. "One out of eight prisoners on Earth is African American."

Strong encouragement to stay out of prison if you can, and a good argument against current severe sentences for essentially victimless crimes, like getting high with unregulated drugs. Would political action reduce the problem? If so, what's the right lever?
