Hmmm........... well this large prison&jail population happened in my life time along w the privatization of the prisons&halfway "thanks Ted". We had a war on drug attics instead of a war on drugs. If Alaska does not invest in rehab, and have a war on drug addiction instead of a war on drug attics. It's well known for a long time the gross lack of rehab centers in Alaska. Irresponsibly it has not been addressed or fixed. Resent articles have   highlighted that. For politicians to not fix this epidemic makes them guilty of many teenage, and young adults deaths for not doing their jobs it is a crime against humanity as a political leader to ignore the social responsibility our community faces. the lack of free rehab facilitys should have been fixed over a decade ago its shameful it has not been. Late is better than never.
