What would you do to handle the drug problem? The jails already are
filled with addicts and drug dealers. Build more jails?

Yes but not the kid of jail they use now. We need drug jail for
non-violent drug offenders where they actually try to rehabilitate
them.



It's extremely difficult to "rehabilitate" a drug addict, especially in
an institutional type setting. Long term success rates are alarmingly
low. Heroin addiction is something you fight for the rest of your life.

It takes acute attention and education before to stop it from ever
happening in the first place.
