Target:
Washington DC
Region:
United States of America

Around half of all inmates in federal prisons are there for drugs.

And as many people could agree, drug addicts need treatment, not punishment, which only serves to further negative causes rather than cure them.

We, the undersigned, call on the government to eliminate the immediate sentencing of an individual to prison, rather than considering correct treatment options to eliminate their problem.
