The law depends on who you are
My son was a heroin addict and was never given any lee-way whatsoever.
He spent many months in prison.
This, I always thought, was just, as his crime was shoplifting and the shopkeepers have to be protected.

My son died back in 1999, and it has left a big void in my life.
He was never even given the chance of re-hab, just sent back to prison.
