The consequences of jail over treatment

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

I don't think anyone has ever claimed the legal system is great, but the problem is finding something that works better. I think there should be some drugs legalized, but some just simply are no good. Plus drugs that lead to addictions, always leads into more crime. Robberies, muggings, murders, etc, in order to pay for addictions. Also that drug money then often goes to financing gangs, which leads to more crime.

The way they're doing it isn't a great solution, but I am not sure there are any great solutions out there.
