Stoners Now Rockin'
From the musicians comments we can see that the prison system failed them: "My issues with addiction were never properly addressed. I ended up back in prison in 2006.” and "After countless times in and out of jail, and then prison, something needed to change. For me, the only thing good that came out of prison is that I got baptized.” Their time in the Vista rehab center seems to be what saved them and what is saving us $50,000 each year for each ex-offender it keeps from returning to prison. How about using some common sense? Let's measure results from the rehab, drug, and education programs and throw out those that are just making money for the programs and keep those that work. We can save salvageable lives, save us a bundle of tax payer dollars, and prevent new crime and new victims.— April 14, 2010 8:23 a.m.
