These ^ are reasons cops give when they lock up addicts (as in those addicted). But as previously stated, it doesn't do a damn thing in addressing the problem. When working off minimum wage jobs ect. impounding vehicles, charging bails to gain revenue, and among other things all of these things will cause financial ruin to those who cannot bare a $1-2K loss. Setting someone back financially will just cause more issues in their life possibly triggering drug use. Instead classes could be offered on educating & bettering addicts, and rehabilitation covered by the state (& I dont mean the lock you up in a facility).
I understand you would still be in trouble and required to fulfill these obligations, but jailing someone doesnt help a thing. Then the day they release the addict (sometimes at 3am with no ride) there is no assistance. No bringing the person up to speed with the world, just tell you walk out that way lol. Its no wonder mf's just walk there ass right back to the dealer and cop with all trauma. By the way, cook country jail is on California. Its probably quicker to go cop than to try to get home lol.
**P.S. I feel for those who have had to experience withdrawing in jail. Violent offenders? sit there ass in time out, AKA JAIL, until they know how to keep their hands to themselves![]()
I had to kick methadone and xanax in jail.. It was absolute hell. I was begging the guards for immodium and ibprofen but they wouldn't give me shit and the fucked up part was that two people had died in that jail withdrawing, so they were required to give patients methadone but you had to be on the clinic... I was not because I was seeing a private doctor.. So no bueno.. I even tried to fake a seizure because a guy in the cell next to me had one and they gave him an ativan taper so I threw myself off my cot on the ground and started flopping around. My cellies started yelling for the guards. They came in looked at me and said "He's alright.. he is just withdrawing."
