Prison Island, the Answer for Drug Addicts

        Would you want to go to an island to spend the rest of your life??? No visits from family, no help, only marooned.. United States has a severe drug problem, friends and family are in bondage to the powerful addiction from strong illegal drugs. I see a "middle ground" political position on drugs as hopeless. A country can either be as strict as killing all who carry drugs in a country or completely legalize all drugs. There is no other answer. Until the public of the USA can find these as the only options. Drugs will continue to ruin American societies and families.

         What about a prison island. Do what the British did for Australia. Of course, only addicts without wealth and hope can go to prison island. Of course, the island would need one boat to guard the island to prevent gangs from picking up fresh prisoner recruits. 

           Many addicts want to quit but they physically can't, some convicts function well in the military but cannot cope with regular society. Some people need a harder life on an island to keep them happy and under control. I would say that most humans do not want to end up in the bars of prison, but would rather risk their life in the wild. This prison island is not for everyone and the prisoners would have to survive by themselves. The only cost is a guard boat for the whole island and the flight to the island. I know families that would pay for their addicted and hopeless families to escape their dark environments. 

          This could be a charity idea. With donated flights. Micronesia is a perfect experiment place. We just need to convince the courts that this is paradise, not a cruel and unusual punishment. In my opinion, Guantanamo Bay and life in prison is the worst type of cruel and unusual punishment. Why not an island life??? It would be popular and this idea should be tested. And can be paid for by charities. What happens on the island, stays on the island. No news leaves. Rules can be adjusted as we learn more about this idea. But Indian Tribes run their own land, apart from the USA government. Why not convicts?? 

       Convicts built Australia, convicts are people like us that are kind and have skills. I've met a lot of convicts that simply make poor decisions in the developed world. Maybe these prisoners need the stimulation of survival on an island and it is not for everyone--but it is for many convict like people. People will learn to govern themselves. Sure, there will be violence on the island. But if these convicts go on parole in America, there may be more violence and pain in the long run. I think everyone benefits from this idea. 

         Radical it is, I say people can only choose to go there from their own will. These convicts may even build something beautiful on this prison island. Drugs will surely eventually be grown on the island, maybe depending on the strictness of everything. Legalize it. People on the island know how to rule their own. Drug infested cultures rule themselves--surprisingly. The new Liberia.
