Isn't a lot of the problem that we aggressively enforce drug laws where many other countries have either legalized common drugs or choose not to aggressively enforce it? Blaming the problem on prison reform and/or mental health care availability seems a bit unfair. Do you by chance have links to studies that show the effectiveness of mental health care in terms of avoiding prison and recidivism? Yes, I'm sure other approaches are also helpful, but just introducing those without solving the other problems won't fix the 3% figure.
