In my opinion this country needs to find othr answers instead of just locking everyone up. We could use facilities for non-violent offenders or first time offenders and run them by people who have been incarcerated for more than five years. Let them drill it into the heads of other who are following the wrong path. In other words let them be scared straight. If I knew now what I didn;t know then I may have made better decisions in my life. It took me two trips to jail to see that I have a problem with drugs. Not only did I lose a total of one year of my life to jail, I lost more than that on my adiction. I never really got the help that I need, so I spend my days confused as to what it is that I need to do and it' stough finding a place that will help me get back on my feet. Oh wait there are places however, I don't make enough money or have adequate insurance to get hte help I need. I like what this article has to say.
