Criminals should be locked up, first

Concerning the Feb. 25 article, “Mustang driver in deadly crash was in drug diversion program”: Who now has the responsibility to tell the families of the people killed in this wreck that their loved ones are dead because some bleeding hearts think that a pat on the wrist and a shove out the door are sufficient punishment for felony drug possession?

Here’s an idea. Lock the criminals up then give them a “strict, court-supervised treatment program for drug abusers.” No TV, no Internet, no gym. Just three squares, a cot and a “strict, court-supervised treatment program for drug abusers.”
