That seems like a good idea - the rates of HIV/Hep C in prisons are astronomical and there are obviously drugs that get into the system. Look at the people coming out - they are not clean or rehabilitated.

Look at the economics behind it - would you rather pay for needles and staff or a lifetime of medications and healthcare bills? The way our system is currently set up those are the two options that exist. As someone in the healthcare system, that is the honest truth. I don't really care overly about every single person... but unless we change the Canada Health Act, we should do everything in our power to minimize the economic/social cost of drug addiction.
