People addicted to drugs who are not violent or stealing need treatment, not jail. I know a woman who was addicted to heroin and she couldn't even stay at the drug treatment center for a whole week because there aren't enough beds. Take half the money spent on the WOD and give great treatment to those who want it...and give us taxpayers back the other half.
People addicted to drugs who are not violent or stealing need treatment, not jail.No one gets put in jail because anyone, anywhere, thinks it's something they need. People go to jail because they've engaged in behavior that society wishes to interrupt, or contain (Here in America, punishment is no longer considerd a valid reason, unfortunately).
Drug abuse certainly qualifies under that definition.
