Taliban Says Afghan Prison Offers Treatment For Drug Users

Dozens of people said to abuse drugs are being held at one of Afghanistan's biggest prisons together with convicted criminals. Taliban officials claim Kandahar Central Prison serves as an educational and rehab center for those with drug addictions. The prison used to house over 2,500 inmates, many of them Taliban fighters. But it now houses alleged drug addicts under the same roof as around 150 people who are considered criminals by the Taliban-led government.
