I agree that mass incarceration is not the way to go.
I’d love to see the government order an in depth study of the top 10 recovery centers in the US and see what they do along with the how and why they do it. Then come up with a nationwide plan to assist addicts and the mentally ill.
We also need justice reform that has language focusing drug addicts and mental health.
Push rehab centers, job/skill training, therapy and community service as opposed to incarceration.
It’s never going to be completely gone but the trend is swinging upward dramatically and that’s a massive problem.
These are the kind of things I’d want to spend money on.
