Different Strokes for Different States

Illinois Gov. Blagojovich is pushing for Meth prisons which would focus on treatment and rehabilitation rather than seclusion. Shouldn't we be focusing on rehab in all the prisons, regardless of the offense?

New Mexico is working on a bill that would make it a first-degree felony to distribute meth within 1000 feet of a school. Apparently, meth was not included under NM's previous drug laws, nor were parochial and private schools covered under the drug zone laws.

Virginia Gov. Mark Warner announced that putting pseudoephedrine behind drug store counters has helped reduce the number of meth labs in the state, citing a decrease of labs found from 30 labs from Oct. 04-Jan. 05 to 9 during Oct. 05-Jan. 06.

A personal observation: many convenience stores have replaced pseudoephedrine products with non-pseudo medicines.
