They can't be kept away from drugs unless they're confined, and even then for various reasons guards in any number of jurisdictions have been known to sneak drugs to them. There's what appears to be an insurmountable problem dealing with addicts and addiction. Empathy and kindness is taken as a sign of weakness to be used to advantage against anyone extending help to them. It would be nice to be able to do something for them that works and actually provides rehabilitation, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards unless some significant advance is made in medicine. |
