At some point you put up a fence, either around the drowning pond or around the jumper.

In this metaphor the pond is drugs and the jumper is an addict.

We've tried putting a "fence" around drugs, it doesn't work.

And we've decided that putting a "fence" around addicts (aka prison) is wrong.

So it seems like we really don't have options.
