There are some of your posts, Ginger, that i'd just like to frame. :notworthy:
My thoughts on this make me wonder why they are once again treating the symptom rather than the disease. What is causing high crime rates amongst kids in California anyway?
Here's a little test. Which of the following are true? Today's kids and teens are more violent than their parents' generation. Teenagers abuse alcohol and drugs more often than adults, and more often than ever before. Teen pregnancy is skyrocketing. Kids' test scores are lower than their parents' were, and getting lower. If you said yes to any of these, you may have been affected by what scholar and writer Mike A. Males terms a "media blitz on teens" driven by sensational anecdotes and manipulated statistics.

Survivor, the goose steppers among drug policy reformers made all the same arguments for Prop 36 8 years ago. Fact is, something like 90% of all drug treatment offered in this country today is Stepcraft based and the other 10% just lie about it and/or based it on coercing the use of different drugs.

Only problem with the democrats... they favor "treatment" (incarceration + thought reform) over incarceration.
Well. Prop 5 was defeated.. phew!

While this is clearly not a Level 4facility, the vibe of prison permeates everything, from lingo and body language to food distribution.*There’s a reason for this. The bulk of Impact residents are here because of Proposition 36, a 2001 measure that dedicated $120 million annually for five years to providing rehab rather than imprisonment for drug-related offenses. Los Angeles County mandated four- to six-month stays for nonviolent first- and second-time drug offenders diverted to facilities such as Impact. Almost 40,000 Californians enter treatment each year through Prop. 36, which, according to advocates, has saved taxpayers $1.3 billion over five years. Private-pay or “blue cluster” clients, who pay about $7000* a month, are supposedly treated a little better and live in “Beverly Hills,” a newer housing unit up above the main yard. I claimed I was private pay for simplicity’s sake, but I will apparently live in the “ghetto cluster,” where everyone starts out.viewtopic.php?f=49&t=26143
They never really did deny the Synanon connection all the time. Internally, The Seed was pretty proud of it. I don't remember mention of it in Straight, but then again it was an accepted part of my reality so mention of it would not have been noteworthy to me. It's only really when critics start asking questions that they get all squirrelly about it.
