re: #235 albusteve
Hmmm - No, not really - there have been studies made that show the availability of most drugs in prisons (especially the State and larger urban prisons) is just as available to inmates as it is on the outside world.
Imprisoning someone for what is, after all, an illness isn’t the right way to go - we’ve been there and done that without any real noticeable success. That’s why I specified in my #230 people who deal drugs for profit. They are sometimes, but I suspect rarely, ever “hooked” on their own product; it’s simply something you can start as a business with a relatively small amount of capital and turn a 300% or greater profit. That’s why we have to go after all those who deal drugs for profit.
