Criminal justice clients in Cuba often end up in drug rehab facilities due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these types of individuals into the drug rehab system because they believe that treating them is more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be quite successful not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Cuba, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
