Topic: Letter of The Law / # chances before drug offenders go to prison instead of rehab

I don’t agree with the lock ‘em up mentality of this state of delaware in particular. Addiction is in fact a disease of the brain. I am looking at that recent suicide death at JTVCC in Smyrna delaware. That young man was placed in secured housing unit to await placement in a rehab program. From what I hear, he was sick withdrawing. Is this what we do to sick people? Delaware needs to use some of those wasted funds used on bull crap or lining politicians pockets and have a separate holding facility for these addicts—not prison. Something wrong with this incident. That inidividual’s death could have and SHOULD HAVE been prevented.
