In very recent years, due to the overpopulation of prisons and jails across the United States, alternative sanctions are beginning to be used in drug crimes. These alternative sanctions could also be called pretrial diversion techniques. Of these pretrial diversion techniques, many states are turning their attention to compulsory treatment programs. This may be because of federal funding of these programs or because of the overcrowding of their correctional facilities. Discuss what is happening with compulsory drug treatment programs in your state. (ALABAMA) You may discuss (if it is known) why your state moved to these types of sanctions. Understanding if these are pretrial diversionary tactics or a guilty verdict following a sentencing with the mandatory sanction is a good way to discuss your state’s use of the tactic. Using scholarly journal data (at least two journal citations) decide your stance on these programs while discussing if the mandatory sanctions work or don’t work. You can find scholarly research data indicative of both stances.
