There needs to be a change in the criminal justice system. Convicted felons who are charged with any drug felony should not be put into jail or prison because it doesn’t help solve the problem. Rudy Haapanen states, “It is now generally agreed that the criminal justice system fails to rehabilitate offenders, to make them less likely to commit criminal acts as a result of treatment or training; that the system fails to deter potential offenders, to make then less likely to commit criminal acts out of fear of penal sanctions”. In this paper I will discuss drug use in the population, drug dealers, drugs and regulations. I will discuss drug use in the population so that you will see the seriousness of drugs in the community and the effects of drugs on people. I will converse about drug dealers because they are part of the reason why people are getting supplied with the drugs. If there were no drug dealers drug use would be cut down tremendously. Discussing drug and regulation is important to know about because knowing how drugs are regulated helps people know were the drugs come from and how they came into existence. I will also debate different types of drug as well as the reasons why prison time doesn’t work and what should be done for drug users will be conversed as well. I will also talk about ways to keep out of prison because these will keep recidivism rate low.
The use of drugs has been growing steadily since the early 60’s. The author states, “In 1962 a white house conference on narcotics and drug abuse was convened in recognition of the fact that drug traffic and abuse were growing and critical national concerns” (Katzenback, p.211). People were moving around large portions of drugs without concern for the law enforcement (Katzenback, p.211). Opiate drugs started to become very popular in the bigger cities (Kaztenback, p.211). Katzenback states, “New stimulants, depressants, and hallucinogenic
