Depends on how you ask the question.

"Is it fair to incarcerate individuals for their preference of intoxicant in a free and liberal democracy?"

"Should drug users and other junkies be taken off the streets to keep them safe for the rest of us?"

That's not my question. There's exactly one way to ask my question.

"Do you think prisoners should be charged $250/night for their incarceration?"

Oh there’s plenty of other ways you can ask it.

“Should prisoners pay the price of their stay in prison, including room, board, food and security?”
