Question by Steener: Do you think this is cruel and unusual punishment?
In most all jail when people who are on methadone. A drug they are taking to stay clean and off of heroin. Its a prescribed drug and without it the user goes into severe withdrawal. To me this is wrong. This is a drug given to some one who is try to improve their life not just getting high. It sickens me that the jails just treat the methadone patients like heroin addcit when they are in a treatment program. This needs to change. Does anyone agree. Could this ever happen?
