I wouldn't stick her in there for 9 years. That's crazy. But, seriously, how many times has she been to rehab? I'm not keeping count or anything but it's getting up there. Obviously, rehab is not helping her. She needs a reality check. What better way then to lock her up for a year?
As for your drug dealers aka "the bad guys" going to jail.. do you really mean that? You wouldn't be getting high if it weren't for them. I can understand like a big meth dealer getting locked up for life, but what about your local weedman down the street? Is it fair for him to get locked up for as long as the courts wish?

Would Lindsay be in this situation if someone had not sold her the coke to begin with?
A user is hurting themself, and usually only themself(sometimes the people around them, especially when they are neglecting children and such.)
A dealer could be hurting a lot of other people, if they're ending up like Lindsay. I'm not saying drugs turn all people like this. I did lots of different kinds of drugs but I knew what to stay away from(Coke, Heroin.) But a drug dealer generally doesn't give a shit who he's giving the drugs to, he just wants to make a buck.
I mean, if someone is selling crack all over the place, I do think they should get years in prison. Marijuana is a different case, but in my experience, the people who sold me marijuana sold all kinds of other stuff too. Honestly, I can't think of a single person who I bought from that didn't sell some other drug as well, be it coke, acid, shrooms, PCP, whatever. And I had a lot of very close smoking buddies get into bad shit because of that. When your dealer sells stuff like that, temptation is close, and when you're a curious young guy, that temptation can end you up in really bad places.
