Double Bind: Addictions in the Prison Population—Prison Ministry Workshop, Saturday, 17 October 2009 at the Center for Pastoral Leadership, Wickliffe
“Far too many people are in prison primarily because of addiction. Locking up addicts without proper treatment and then returning them to the streets perpetuates a cycle of behavior that benefits neither the offender nor society. Persons suffering from chemical dependency should have access to the treatment that could free them and their families from the slavery of addiction, and free the rest of us from the crimes they commit to support this addiction.”
Responsibility, Rehabilitation, and Restoration: a Catholic Perspective on Crime and Criminal Justice.
A Statement of the Catholic Bishops of the United States
