Prosecutors, Law Enforcement Officials Fighting For Proposed Supervised Drug Injection Site

The officials say that Safehouse’s proposed injection site would prevent overdose deaths and help reduce the burden on the criminal justice system. U.S. Attorney William McSwain argues that it would normalize the use of deadly drugs like heroin and fentanyl.
