Hi YourNeverThere,
Perhaps I didn't make myself clear in my last post. In Scotland they have a "detox" program which could be successful if ther wasn't so much drugs being smuggled into prisons, commonly in the course of prisoner visits (the sheer number of visitors, combined with the lengths they'll go to conceal drugs makes searching an impossibility). In fact it is easier to obtain illegal drugs inside a prison than outside - but it's more expensive.
The issue I have a real problem with is that prisoners approaching release are offered a "RETOX" program! No, that's not a spelling mistake. They're offered an increasing selection of drugs to take to "prepare" them for release! In that way, the newly released prisoner is less likely to suffer an overdose, and society gets back the same drug addicted offender that they locked up and detoxed a while ago!
Mike.
