Rep. Corrine Brown: “As I said earlier, a person with one stick of marijuana or someone that has a drug problem, they are all lumped…”

On the recordMay 14, 1997
As I said earlier, a person with one stick of marijuana or someone that has a drug problem, they are all lumped together. But let me say something about the prison because perhaps I have not adequately described it. There is no toilets in the prison, none whatsoever. So all of this filth is right there, right out in the open. It is hard to believe that this condition could exist to our neighbor and the overcrowdedness, and the fact is children are being exposed to these conditions and diseases that run rampant in the prison.
