Treatment not prison ends drug woes crusade
Harold P. Koenig leads a campaign in Florida to end the war on drugs by treating addicts rather than imprisoning them. He cites a nonviolent first offender used as a confidential informant, a case that inflamed his fight for mandatory treatment and bans on such policing tactics. He founded H.E.A.R.T. to promote early treatment and urges public support and policy change.
