One thing in the Ted talk that I found interesting was the rate of arrests for possession of drugs went up dramatically in 40 years (800% according to the Ted talk video), however the rate of abuse of drugs stayed steady the entire time. Also in the Ted talk video mentioned was that one of the largest mental health treatment center is cook county jail.
