One thing I noticed about this bill when I was reading it was that everybody who is an offender is going to have a set out plan on how they're going to get.... I mean, there are assumptions that they go to jail and they shouldn't be taking treatment. Our correctional institutions have great treatment programs. They're proven, they're evidence-based, and I think they're only getting better.
I don't want to keep going back to it, but that's a certain part, and then there's a certain part on the preventive side not coming into the system yet. We see these as equal. That's why we're able to sit here and speak on this as important. This is a part of what we see in relation to serious crime that needs to be dealt with, and it needs to have the appropriate consequence or the appropriate punishment. I think we have to say that we know there are folks that are going to go to jail, but that doesn't mean we forget about them. There are good programs in jail. Hopefully they'll acknowledge them and take them and go through that rehabilitation.
