If anyone deserves to be behind bars it is the Sacklers.

Eight years ago when I was young and Naive I tore up my left arm. I spent the night in the hospital. The next day when I was released, the Doctor gave me a prescription for 100 OxyContin. The doctor told me I would need one before I went to bed. I had no pain, but the Doctor said so I did. That’s the only one I took. I never had any related pain. Discomfort but no pain. The rest went to the county medical lockbox. Not putting them in jail is cruel and unusual. For their victims.
