David Simon: 'I don't want anybody in jail for using drugs'

guardian.co.uk — How did you get involved in The House I Live In The film puts you in the position of being spokesperson against the "war on drugs". Is that a role you're happy to play? [Eugene Jarecki's prize-winning documentary on US drugs policy]?
