The city I'm in, and I think the state, have a newly instituted "drug court." The idea is to get the people that commit petty drug related crimes into treatment instead of jail. They usually get deferred sentencing but are closely monitored for a considerable amount of time.

The cases are sent directly there, so it's not as spotty and dependent on which judge you get as the old system was.

It's been slow to get off the ground, but I think it's a HUGE step in the right direction.
