I feel like your (3) isn't discussed openly enough. As an antidote, I have a family member that was an addict living on the street. He was arrested for multiple petty crimes, and through prison was able to sober up and get the help he needed. He's now a productive member of society and we couldn't be more proud. Now obviously we shouldn't just throw addicts into prison, and there is a laundry list of other hurdles to solve. Primarily I think the punishment after the punishment from having a criminal record (which I think we've quietly made progress on, see Fair Chance Odinances by SF). But it's a process we already have in place, and could be expanded in a humanitarian manner with less red tape than some of the other radical solutions. At the very least I'd love to see it in the running of options discussed, but all I hear is prisons=pure evil
