I mean we can just look at historical precedent. Back when the drug crisis started and Nixon decided to start the War on Drugs Switzerland took a completely different approach and started what they called care centers. Somewhere you could go to get heroin of high quality administered by doctors for free, you would also then get somewhere to sleep somewhere to shower and keep your things. Access to social workers and mental Care Professionals to help you get your life back on track.
They saw a 85% success rate within the first year. 85% of people that went into those facilities had a stable job on their own household of some variety within the first year and a follow-up study of how they were doing 5 years later showed that they had stayed employed and housed and not regressed.
But that would require people in the US to be willing to look at them as people and not just criminals who did it to themselves. These people are literally broken, you can’t treat their actions as you would a normal person because they are not mentally stable.
For that to happen, section 1983 of the federal code has to be properly copied, and then challenged in front of SCOTUS to overturn Harlow V Fitzgerald. Once you do that, the 1871 reconstruction Congress totally agrees with you, and the bullshit Qualified Immunity rules get thrown out. Then you’ll be able to prosecute while they are in office, as President Grant gave us that precedent in 1872 by getting pulled over for speeding in the city limits of Washington DC.
