Fuck yeah, Maryland.
The pardons will forgive low-level marijuana possession charges for an estimated 100,000 people
So an interesting average of 1.75 convictions per person.
The population of Maryland is 6.165 million. 100k people is 1.6% of the state’s population.
That seems insane.
On the other hand, 0.7% of the U.S. population is in prison right now, so that actually sounds low if anything. Disturbing, but it does sound low.
We are just like Russia for the most imprisoned and used as slaves 13th.
The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with nearly two million people in prison at any given time. In 2023, the US had 531 prisoners per 100,000 people, which is more than any other country. The US has held this title since 2002.
We’re 6th per Capita
We are way past Russia.

Even per capita, we’re past Russia (although nowhere near El Salvador)
Seems like Maryland governor is a bud.
