Interview: Why the US Should Decriminalize Drug Use
Neal Scott may die in prison. A 49-year-old Black man from New Orleans, Neal had cycled in and out of prison for drug possession over a number of years. He said he was never offered treatment for his drug dependence; instead, the criminal justice system gave him time behind bars and felony convictions—most recently, five years for possessing a small amount of cocaine and a crack pipe. When Neal was arrested in May 2015, he was homeless and could not walk without pain, struggling with a rare autoimmune disease that required routine hospitalizations. Because he could not afford his $7,500 bond, Neal remained in jail for months, where he did not receive proper medication and his health declined drastically—one day he even passed out in the courtroom. Neal eventually pled guilty because he would face a minimum of 20 years in prison if he took his drug possession case to trial and lost. He told us that he cried the day he pled, because he knew he might not survive his sentence.[1
Answer:
b
Explanation:
I'm not sure about the answer
Answer:this job is not the best. It stinks and almost plugs my nose. When i come home for the day, I am pretty sure I am nose blind. The garbage bags are hard on my back and I think I will need to go to the chiropractor after I take a quick nap. If I don't do this job, I will not be able to pay for this month's rent. I have to keep going. It takes up most of my homework time too. I barely get any time to sneak in some studying. The only bright side of this job is that my best friend Bono is doing this with me. He has to get out of the way of his parents sometimes. Especially when they take up almost all of his house with their jobs. Half the time they are not there and they leave a mess. Most days Bono just lives with me. I have to keep this job if I want to keep on staying under a roof.
(there you go)
