Association blames dry laws for federal court congestion
The Association Against the Prohibition Amendment released a statistical pamphlet accusing dry laws of causing federal court backlog and rising prisoner counts since 1920. It claims about 40,000 prohibition prisoners are in federal and county facilities and notes 88 percent of prohibition violators in federal courts are misdemeanants. It cites two thirds of criminal cases in federal courts tied to prohibition and a 56,445 total last year, with civil-case gains from federal participation rising 347 percent since 1920, excluding prohibition actions at 117 percent.
