Taking or selling drugs is a crime not a disease. It’s a choice you make to either abide by the law or break it.
You want to stop it, make sure that when they get to jail, it’s a jail. Not a community of criminals hanging out educating themselves how to do a better job next time. Solitary confinment for all of them. Sorry, one meal a day, no tv, no books, nothing. Just sit there and drive yourself insane. And that is probably not enough punishment for this crap. Imagine what some poor parent is feeling day in day out after they lose a child to this stuff. In my opinion make the punishment really feel like a punishment, not a temporary loss of freedom.
