"The racially disproportionate nature of the war on drugs... contradicts faith in the principles of justice and equal protection of the laws that should be the bedrock of any constitutional democracy. Urgent action is needed, at both the state and federal level, to address this crisis..." -Human Rights Watch Report, 2000
