It is fantastic system, actually. Drug Possession has been moved into the treatment instead of confinement. Where is the problem?. Confinement cost $120.000 per inmate yearly. Out of custody costs the American people around $50.000 a year. Drugs cost money, personal money or state money.. Removing custody is a saving of our money. I got to tell you, as a lawyer, I was put in Treatment home by the state. I told the state via The Internet that I don't belong there, I don't drink. They evidently talk to the staff folks and they had a mind-meld and I finally got where I belong. This is a great TREATMENT CENTER. I write books, at a does not home that is b a front for a non-treatment center. drjimxlaw64@gmail.com

The system sucks. Drug addicts don't want treatment or rehab, they just want to live on the street, not work, and do drugs 24/7, and that's what's happened. It's ruined great cities up and down the west coast and caused a tremendous amount of human suffering and death. It's not working. That's why ballot measure 110 failed miserably.
