Prison Withdrawals

When drug abusers go to prison they are trapped in there with other users and/or people far worse than them. They are in there with serial killers, rapists, and other inmates far worse than them; yet they have an addiction problem which is something that could be overcame with the help of rehab. Someone who is only addicted to a drug shouldn’t be locked away for it; they should be given proper therapy. Sitting in a prison cell isn’t going to help them. because they don’t have the drug with them, it could genuinely make it worse. Withdrawals are very painful and uncomfortable.Of course, nobody could possibly deserve to suffer through that type of pain. During and sometimes after withdrawals all the addicts can think about is getting high again.
They get put in prison with other addicts who talk about their addiction and how much they love being under the influence. All they do is wait for their time to end, so they can get out to puff, snort, or inject again. If they had therapy or rehab to help them get over the substance then there would be less of a chance of them relapsing when they are released. There would be less talk of drugs in the prison system, and it would become a lot cleaner.
