Assuming they are mostly drug charges, that's about 390 too many.

Another wonderful example of the drug war.

Once again it is the right-wingers who introduce race into a discussion where race had not been previously mentioned.

Don't worry, she's getting close to Illinois' "500 strikes and you're out" law...

Really. Instead of going after the pusher, they arrest the user, probably because a user is easier to catch.

The jails are probably overfull. Good thing she agreed to seek help.

Our judicial system is such a mess.

This woman is MICA (mentally ill chemically addicted) and these are the toughest people to help. The majority cycle through the criminal system, psych ERs/hospitals, and homeless shelters endlessly until they die. There are no more institutions so what's the solution?
