Not much point in locking someone up for a few months, without any real treatment and support. They'll just go back to previous life. Everyone keeps saying that more mental health and drug addiction treatments plus housing are needed, but no one wants to pay for it. But I'll bet those are the cheapest solutions.

As Maddox said, 30 years of ignoring the situation has come home to roost. Add in that the drugs have become stronger and their influence is more destructive we have a serious problem. Locking them up might clean uo the streets for a minute, but they'll get filled again with the next generation. To get these people clean and functional requires a lot more time and effort.
