Hes a big dummy. Still, given that the war on drugs is a complete and total waste of money failure, and that countries that have tried similar programs where they treat drug addiction instead of punishing it have seen marked drops in drug use and addiction, sounds like a good idea to me.

Of course, I'm sure OP would prefer that we keep throwing cheap labor into the prison industrial complex rather than actually try to solve the problem, so really I'm just talking to a brick wall here.

I was shocked when I found out at My prison having a job is a privilege. And what I mean is out of near 700 inmate population you'll have somewhere between 2 to 2 and half hundred not having jobs either cause they don't wanna work or there isn't any job opening. Like they gotta go out of there way to get a job usually. If nobody takes a job sure someone will just eventually be assigned.
