Most jails or detention facilities in the U.S. do NOT test new inmates for drugs during the intake process, this can have serious consequences for those who are booked with drugs in their system.

Drug tests can cost as low as $1.70 per test when purchased in large quantities, with results being obtained immediately.

PROMPT: Lawsuits for a death while incarcerated are incredibly costly to county taxpayers, sowhy do you think jails nationwide are not investing in tests that cannot only save lives but can also better classify new inmates who may need detox or specially supervised holding cells.Explain
