Very quickly, without being facetious, what I need is not necessarily more drug treatment courts but more basketball courts.
It's very important that we begin to invest in communities where drug use and a variety of concurrent disorders are serious problems. Drug treatment courts do not do the prevention work that is necessary. They don't build the resilience and social skills necessary to say no.
I urge you, as I said at the end of my presentation, to think about reinvesting the money that would be spent on the incarceration system into other social goods that help to prevent drug use in the first place.
