has become tougher on drugs by imposing mandatory minimum levels on people who violate our policies on illegal drugs. Sending them to prison with mandatory minimums has increased the cost of this war. These minimums have not addressed the real problem of abuse of these controlled substances. Not caring for drug-abusing prisoners makes them irrational and leads them to commit crimes to fuel their addiction. If drug policies result in disparities for drug users, spending money on drug control does not appear to be cost-effective. Over the years, society has ostracized users of illicit drugs. We need to consider the quality of treatment among people from lower social classes. Treatment of drug addicts is considered, but how effective can it be when it is only offered to those who can afford it. Drug court is an alternative model for dealing with drug-related offenders who may be accepted into the program. In the program, individuals are provided with intensive treatment to stay sober. They are regulated by a drug court judge with drug tests and are given goals to achieve sobriety. This allows them to have less criminal justice control by focusing on their treatment (Carey et al. Cost and Consequences. 2008.). Eligibility varies depending on state and local guidelines aimed at adult drug offenders, but do not accept violent offenders. The problem with this treatment is availability limiting opportunities for this more suitable alternative for people with drug convictions
