JUDGE: DRUG COURT WORKS
Saving Taxpayer Dollars While Offering Effective Treatment, Tough
Regimen Remains Goal
While The Clarion-Ledger editors would frown on my leaving a large
open space on their editorial pages, I believe that this statement
does, in fact, succinctly sum up the case for drug courts.
For those unfamiliar with drug courts, they are special courts given
the responsibility to handle cases involving drug-using offenders
through comprehensive supervision, drug testing, treatment services
and immediate sanctions and incentives. Drug courts rely upon the
daily communication and cooperation of judges, court personnel,
probation and treatment providers.
