In Canada we have a load of junkies that go to jail to detox and get their teeth fixed at the same time. I think it is a small price if a junkie can manage to turn their life around.
Agreed! Having been robbed by one, I want to see them detoxed before they come out at the very least. I will not trust them again, but they had better get dry or be another "homeless" as they have destroyed all relationships they had before.
I doubt he will go to max security and get shanked, probably start some cult following in prison.
He probably will not even get to prison, just serve his time in a jail. While not a country club, the violence there is a lot less than in prisons.
