I read some stories about the drug courts this weekend and they are doing a great job. And I have no problem with secure jails where prisoners are detoxed and treated. I don't know how it would work for violent offenders though.

I would think that defense lawyers would be pushing for every one of their clients to be sentenced to this program to get shorter sentences and possibly easier time.
