If you genuinely don't understand how the English language works and you want to create your own form of doublespeak where you say "Noone goes to prison" but you really mean "let's imprison poor people and still not solve the issue" them I'm seriously concerned for you.

No one goes to prison for smoking while underage. That's a fact.

Wtf, why do you want to imprison poor people?

What's wrong with you, dude?

Which about describes a prohibitionist.

Nice doublespeak.

You literally said "let's imprison poor people". You understand how the English language works, don't you?
