Methodone is fine, counseling and treatment is fine, but never street drugs- and the inmates should have to pay for these services.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26061284.post-59232082615424271192008-12-04T13:42:00.000-06:002008-12-04T13:42:00.000-06:00I'm OK with treatment programs in prison using met...I'm OK with treatment programs in prison using methadone, counseling, shock therapy, lobotomy, etc. <BR/><BR/>What I have a problem with is the award of taxpayer money for this wholly imagined rights violation by which they should actually be given, by the state, heroin, LSD, crystal meth, or whatever. <BR/><BR/>They're already getting taxpayer funded meals, bunks, dental/medical, play time, etc. They should be grateful to not be on drugs anymore. <BR/><BR/>I just don't think it's a right to be given actual street drugs while in prison, just because you managed to get yourself addicted to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26061284.post-16235185479140851522008-12-04T12:35:00.000-06:002008-12-04T12:35:00.000-06:00I didn't read the story.

See here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.mapinc.org/newscsdp/v07/n089/a05.html<BR/><BR/>However, treatment is not mandatory, and these rules vary state to state. <BR/><BR/>The UK has basically just <B>mandated</B> treatment with this ruling. I think I'm okay with it, as long as they are treated while in jail and not released to go to a stupid rehab center.<BR/><BR/>I've had friends with addictions, so I sympathize with those inmates struggling with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26061284.post-27832812471474351122008-12-04T11:36:00.000-06:002008-12-04T11:36:00.000-06:00Let's hope the UK's child molesters don't get wind...Let's hope the UK's child molesters don't get wind of this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
