HELP THE ADDICTS, DON'T JAIL THEM

Re: the "Red Zone" series.

If you eliminate the drug and alcohol users from Victoria's Red Zone,
the drug distributors and vendors will be out of business.

We have built a detention centre for young offenders; why do we do not
have a similar institution for the addicts downtown? Jail is not the
answer, it should be mandatory that the addicts be taken from our
streets and weaned from the problem.

Ray Wanless,

Victoria.
