New Jersey will begin requiring nonviolent, drug-addicted offenders to enter treatment programs, even if they don’t apply for admission, rather than be locked up in state prisons, under a law enacted by Gov. Chris Christie.
“What we’re dealing with with most people here is an addiction, an illness, that needs to be treated as such,” said Christie. “I truly, firmly believe that this will not only be extraordinarily successful in terms of the numbers that it will produce over time, but I also believe that even if it was successful only once we could claim success.”
