Should Jails detox inmates?
I read that somewhere between 10%-12% of people arrested are dependent on drugs and or alcohol at the time of their arrest. Most of the time, they're taken to jails and detox on their own. But sometimes they die because as we all know withdrawal kills. So, the way I look at it, the state is killing hundreds if not thousands of people by not sending them to a facility to safely detox before incarcerating them.. If they're gonna be put in jail then its the states responsbility to help them detox.
Do u agree or not?
