Send Rush to Jail

No reason for him to get different treatment:

A lack of drug-treatment programs is forcing judges to incarcerate an increasing number of inmates while at the same time in-prison treatment is being slashed.

In a state where almost a third of those entering Florida prisons last year had been convicted of drug offenses, the Department of Corrections has significantly reduced state programs to help those who are released and cut in-prison treatment at all but 13 of Florida's 55 prisons.

Corrections officials blame the state Legislature for the cuts, which take effect Nov. 1 and are expected to save taxpayers $13 million, reducing by more than a third the number of beds at 20 residential treatment programs throughout the state.

The cuts affect all four Central Florida prisons, in Brevard, Lake, Polk and Volusia counties, as well as four residential drug-treatment centers -- Bridges of America in Orange, Seminole and Polk counties and the Salvation Army in Daytona Beach.
