FORREST CO. GETS YOUTH DRUG COURT
Young drug offenders will have new resources to overcome abuse
problems and avoid further contact with the justice system with the
advent of a Forrest County Youth Drug Court.
Youth Court Judge Michael McPhail on Tuesday told the Forrest County
Board of Supervisors the court received a $300,000 grant from
Hattiesburg's Asbury Foundation. The grant, distributed over two
years, will provide seed money for the juvenile drug court that is
expected to open Jan. 1.
"We try to keep children from further penetrating the justice
system," McPhail said. "This will help give them resources to stem
alcohol and drug abuse."
