They thought they were going to rehab but ended up in chicken plants (2017)
This is one of the most horrific articles I&#x27;ve read in recent times. This is absolutely disgraceful.<p>We have to be better than this, there has got to be more tools for people to liberate themselves away from this.<p>I want to know why these folks won&#x27;t LEAVE shitty redneck states and head to places with more opportunity. I went through a residential treatment program in Nashville, and there were jobs galore back then, so I went right to work and I&#x27;ve been sober for 22 years, and actually my 22nd year started just a few days ago.<p>This guy didn&#x27;t even have an addiction problem, I&#x27;m almost certain the judge is getting some sort of incentive to punish these people with this program. I honestly think private rehabs are just destined for abuse, it doesn&#x27;t make sense to treat a public health problem as a private industry product.<p>Ugh.
