I am talking about counties in the U.S. There are a handful of extremist district attorneys that follow the view that non-violent crime should not result in prosecution or prison. To my knowledege, there are no countries anywhere that have adopted this view, and only a few local district attorneys are advocating for it. There are differences in the severity of non-violent crime needed to get prison sentences, but that was always the case.
