"Prison Population Control, Produce More Smoke to Reduce Too Much of a Crowd" Around 2013, Governor Asa Hutchison was informed by the Arkansas Department of Corrections Prison system that it was over crowding, due to program failures, one year denials served by certain inmates who received denials from the Parole Board, lifers which are inmates serving life sentences, and 70% percenters which are inmates serving time that consists of 70% of the sentenced. Inmates serving life and 70% percent makes up the largest fraction of A.D.C. inmates. Arkansas Department of Correction "Time Card Computation" states (You have been committed to the ADC to serve the following sentences. The release dates listed below are only a projection and include all good time which can be earned based on your current class. If all projected good time is not earned, these release dates will change.) That is a false statement which is printed on every inmate "Time Computation Card." Only inmates serving sentences under the A, B, or C is allowed good time, not lifers nor 70% percenters. So rumor was spoken that the ADC requested a 100 million dollars in order to build another prison in Cabot Arkansas to house a certain amount of inmates. Request was denied, due to the fact that ADC generate 50-100 million dollars along from inmates hard labor who do not get no pay, which is spoken on in my last essay, "What is Free." By that request being denied, is when I first heard of a powerful anethetics substance similar to marijuana known as K-2 or Deuce. Its created from liquid from and sprayed on popary or rabbit food but the substance is made of many chemicals, most known to kills bugs, insects, such as moth balls, Raid spray for roaches, and rat poison. The more you spray on the marijuana formula the more powerful it is and that is what became the #1 drug of choice in Arkansas prison due to the fact it cannot be detected in drug screens. K-2 alone has killed more inmates than anything I have ever witnessed from multiple prisons within then A.D.C. I have witnessed 10 to 15 inmates dying a week, totaling up to hundreds who have died just from taking one puff of the man made drug alone. I seen two guys sitting on a bed, rolling a thin joint of K-2 in Bible paper getting ready to smoke it. The first guy took a tiny pull, held it in, dropped dead in his friend lap in just a split of a second. That was a crime scene to see in prison. Inmates state that the drug makes you see things such as spirits around you. They claim it makes you think that somebody or some people is out to hurt you. Some inmates claim to see demons and visit a place called the 7 gates of Hell. Some inmates go into heavy nods and character of personality changes them into a baby stage. I have witnessed guys helpless from this drug, to were anyone can take advantage of them, sexually and physically violence. I had a friend who was stabbed in the head after smoking K-2 going into a heavy nod such as 30 minutes of a coma, why another inmate who he had a problem with earlier that day, waited until he smoked the drug and stabbed him. My point concerning the K-2 epidemic in Arkansas Prisons was to say that I and many others honestly believe that K-2 was brought in and introduced in our prison populations to kill off the prison population due to over crowded so bed space was needed. This state does not believe I pardons from its governor, or letting juvenile first time offenders back into society under no circumstances of an early release, which would have to lead to state officials, the governor, and other A.D.C. officials, making a decision to dropping the 70% percent down to at least 50% to help over populated prisons in Arkansas, especially since the 70% was discovered by former President Bill Clinton around 1994-1995...
