The private for profit prison industry is a huge growth industry. This prison industry lobbies for laws that keep prisons full, such as the three strikes laws and more.
Anti- drug laws are one example of what keeps our jails full, which then takes away resources that could be used to fix infrastructure, create jobs or fill community needs, such as feeding homeless children or housing them.

The number of people in prisons is increasing not due to an increase in crime, but rather due to efforts by the prison industry to keep prisons full and to expand the number of people inside of them in order to increase profits.
