Do you think jail is the best thing for an addict?

Just like the death penalty isn't going to rehabilitate the murderer, a jail sentance is certainly not going to fix a drug addict - but it will certainly make it more difficult for him to commit his crimes. I've never been one who thought jail was for rehabilitation - its for punishment.

I see marijuana as damaging as alcohol. What are you views?
Do you support prohobition of Alcohol? It has been proven to cause addiction, disease and acts of violence.

Is that a proper use of our tax-funded jails: keeping adults from self-harming "crimes"?
