IT WOULD have seemed a lot more revolutionary just two years ago but for Jamaica, it is still a welcome whiff of sense. The island’s energy minister, Philip Paulwell, who also leads government business in parliament, has said he will find time this year to decriminalise possession of small amounts of marijuana. At a stroke, the move will cut the number of criminal offences by as many as a million a week. It will also make a Jamaican break somewhat less nervy for ganja-puffing tourists.

It seems unbelievable that someone could spend the rest of his life in prison for marijuana possession, but that's the harsh reality for Missourian Jeff Mizanskey. Because of Missouri's laws regarding "prior and persistent drug offenders," which allow judges to sentence third-time offenders to life in prison for drug charges even if no violence occurred and no guns were involved, Mizanskey has spent the last 20 years behind bars.
