Yeah sorry for the derail. I was just making a comparison - wage gap believers act like the final figures are for the same jobs instead of broad averages, so maybe the differently applied justice ("justice") is for different drug crimes?

I'm gonna enter tin foil hat territory now ... some think the gender gap in prison sentences (with men being jailed more often and for longer) is due due to outsourced prison labour, i.e. prisons making money from their prisoners. Men on average are stronger than women, and black men are on average stronger than us crackers, so maaaybeeee there's string-pulling so private companies can outsource the "better" physical labour for as little as possible?
