We all agree there are used syringes out in the community, and we are getting kiosks. Why couldn’t we have a program that required the people incarcerated from drug charges to go out in the community and pick them up? It would work the same way as the inmate trash pick-up program. All they would need is supervision, tongs, and a sharps container.
This would accomplish a couple of things. It would get the syringes out of the community, and it would give people a chance to see the consequences of throwing them in the playgrounds, cemeteries, etc.
