About drug decriminalization is the way it reduces stigma and fear of criminal prosecution, which allows our most vulnerable to reach out for help.
Staff at the Saskatchewan Penitentiary in Prince Albert have once again caught packages of drugs being brought into the federal institution.
On Thursday, July 17, packages of methamphetamine that hold an institutional value of just over $150,000 were found and seized.
The police have been notified and the institution is investigating.
The seizure comes at the heels of another seizure two weeks ago. In that case, almost $200,000 in meth, hash and MDMA were seized.
And people are surprised when criminals continue to act like criminals. Redemption is not easy when you offer no alternatives except free housing, and free meals. What incentive is there to change previously damaging ways?
Free housing, free meals, free medical csre, and no difficult questions about what to do tomorrow. Full socialism achieved. What an alluring future!
Fixed that for you. It’s the staff/guards bringing the drugs in. It’s always been.
The legal status of drugs has little impact on the amount of drugs being smuggled into prisons. In the US, addicts will commit minor crimes because it’s easier tog et drugs in prison than out on the street.
So the inmates ARE running the asylum
Snort ’em if you got ’em.
Relatively speaking, meth is cheap, so that’s a lot of meth.
I suggest giving every inmate a bag of his drug of choice each day and all the paraphernalia necessary to injest said drug….I would also include a rope in every cell
These problems would take care of themselves…..as a famous comic book philosopher stated
What me worry?
