To Jazmyn Clark, a program director for the ACLU of Washington, jailing someone who keeps breaking the law is a draconian move.
, Clark came out against the idea. She leaned on the same talking points the Radical Left normally use.
“Incarceration itself is incredibly disruptive to people’s lives. You’re talking about a potential loss of employment, loss of housing, loss of the custody of their children, loss of any type of government resources,” she said as she pretended the people we’re talking about aren’t homeless, jobless and spiraling deeper into despair. She added, “We cannot punish people into recovery.
But when you speak to addicts, many will tell you that they needed consequences for their behaviors before they got their life in order. Sometimes that means a loss of a job or relationship; for others, it means going to jail. When you’re a repeat offender who keeps using, it’s time for society to take more dramatic actions, including jail.
At some point, it’s okay to say we’ve done enough to try to help an addict and then focus on helping prevent future crimes. It’s not some moral failing if we try in good faith, over and over and over again some more, to help someone. If they keep saying no to offers of help, then so be it. We can take a tough-love approach and hope they get the help they need while incarcerated.
