Prisons should be for people who are a threat to other people, not for people who are a threat to themselves.
Heroin turns you in to a criminal. Robbing and stealing to get your fix. It hurts their family especially if they have kids. And it is a danger to everbody who uses roads because they think shooting up and driving around is a good idea.
A bunch of heroin addicts repeatedly arrested and allowed to go back on the street is a threat to society.
We are already wasting money pandering to these people. Making sure they have tools to use drugs. Safe places to shoot up. And police officers wasting hundreds of hours babysitting junkies and reviving them if they die.
