I must disagree. Breaking into cars, breaking into houses, shoplifting and all the rest gnaw away at society and quality of life for the rest of us. We can afford to keep drug addicted thieves in prison and so we should.
Most junkies do more than $273 worth of damage to society every day. $100,000 a year is cheap.
