Thank you for your careful attention to the “Three Strikes” legislation. Persons struggling with drug addictions need treatment, not incarceration. You correctly point out that we need to increase the funding for treatments, which, when successful, can reduce the chance ofBoeing sent back to prison?
In addition, I highly recommend the book, The New Jim Crow, for an analysis of the impact of incarcerating offenders guilty of non-violent crimes related to drugs.
Thanks again.
Thanks, Alice. Yes. The drug laws are putting too many people of color in prison.
