description: Authors Maralys Wills and Mike Carona have created a thoroughly researched, up-to-date expose of how most crimes in this country are either the direct or indirect result of the criminal's drug or alcohol abuse. They further reveal how the current correctional trend toward longer sentences, fewer prison programs, and very limited access to drug/alcohol treatment guarantees continuation of the massive recidivism rates we currently experience. Save My Son is not, however, merely a diagnostic book; it is also prescriptive, outlining Sheriff Carona's vision of locked-down mandatory drug and alcohol treatment and job traning facilities for nonviolent drug offenders designed to reduce recidivism and reverse the national trends of imprisoning massive numbers of addicts
