I very much hope that this experiment has a positive outcome. I don't pretend to know what the best way to handle this issue is, but it certainly seems to me that increasing incarceration has not had a desirable outcome for American society. After all, in many cases it's possible to procure heroin or methamphetamine in jail or prison. So the carceral system could in theory be seen as simply moving people around without addressing the issue of drug use, using public funds.
