YOUR SIDE: The Readers Take Over

What happens to jailed drug addicts?

To the editor:

When drug addicted people are put in jail do you know what happens to them? Are they given their medication? Are they mistreated, are they hurt?

I know one thing: they aren’t getting any rehab, help to get off drugs, encouragement to change, anything they need to want to change and live.

There has to be a better way.
