The above article, published in an Australian newspaper, discusses the ever growing prison population and comments on the large proportion of inmates who committed their crimes whilst under the influence of drugs or alcohol - should the prison systems around the world be obligated to get these prisoners treatment, instead of handing out blanket punishments?  If so, who should be prioritised for treatment and what criteria should be implemented to this end?
