Please cosponsor (SD.1634 / HD.873) Treatment, not Incarceration
(SD.1634/HD.873) An Act relative to treatment, not incarceration (Sen. Friedman, Reps. Nguyen & Decker ): Would allow judges to order a person on pretrial release or probation to receive treatment for substance use but prohibits courts from sending a person to jail just for relapsing if they are otherwise engaged in treatment. It is both unsafe and unjust to require a person suffering from substance use disorder to remain relapse-free as a condition of release or else face jail.
