I would caution that even tho we are moving in the right direction the reluctance of some folks to speak is not without merit. We/ meaning the State of AZ is very much a lock em up state. This is partly due to the relationship the State has with CCA who is one of the largest privatized prison industries in the nation. They are also one of the most active players and have been for years to push for enlarging and supporting the War on Drugs for obvious reasons.....
They function on a prison bed numbers game, not so much for meting out justice, but one of mass incarceration for dolla's $$$$..... Tread lightly and keep a low profile is the best advice I can share with you.......
