Supervisor Matt Dorsey seeks 'mass arrests,' mandated treatment at 'drug jails'
Briefly

Dorsey called for a plan for 'mass arrests' of drug users and dealers, seeking at least 100 arrests daily, accompanied by 'drug jails' offering treatment.
Ursula Choice argues that Dorsey's proposal will overcrowd jails, stating 'This is a behavioral health issue... services and access points to treat such issues is the correct answer.'
Dorsey acknowledged potential litigation risks involved in his proposal and has sought direction from the city attorney on how to proceed.
Dorsey's initiative aims to address a worsening situation on Sixth Street, yet lacks concrete funding plans and readily available treatment infrastructure.
