Our criminal justice system is failing those with mental health problems and/or drug addiction.
Many of the repeat offenders in Las Cruces are deemed “incompetent” to stand trial so they are just released back onto the streets, where they commit crime after crime after crime. The New Mexico legislature must enact laws to allow “incompetent” offenders to be directed into treatment, for the good of all.
These are just 18 of the top repeat offenders in Las Cruces. There are many more.
