Michael Douglas slams U.S. prison system after Emmy win

“Backstage, Douglas elaborated: ‘My son is in federal prison. He’s been a drug addict for a large part of his life. Part of the punishments — if you happen to have a slip, and this is for a prisoner who is nonviolent, as about a half-million of our drug-addicted prisoners are — he’s spent almost two years in solitary confinement. Right now I’ve been told that I can’t see him for two years. It’s been over a year now. And I’m questioning the system.’ Continued Douglas: ‘Obviously at first, I was certainly disappointed in my son. But I’ve reached a point now where I’m very disappointed with the system.’ Cameron Douglas is currently serving a sentence of nearly 10 years for non-violent drug offenses.”
