U.S. drug czar stresses the importance of treatment

In an interview with Toronto Star U.S. drug czar says that policy-makers should recognize there is a distinct difference between big-time narcotics offenders and others who come into the criminal justice system who clearly have an addiction problem. Then the focus of the sentencing, the focus of whatever law that exists, should be as much treatment as any punishment. That should include treatment of drug addictions behind prison walls.
