what is the success rate of our drug courts .both circuit and district..hear its a great program for those that want a clean life free from drug/booze
REALLY! Gee, I would have never guessed that... Must be our faults somehow...
1) locked out of the job market
2) can't get financial aid for getting a better education
What do you expect to happen? I believe we should be hard on crime but once a man has done his time, put him back on an even playing field.
All expenses paid, and no bills, education paid for , three sqaure meals a day, an affectionate cell buddy to hold you at night, satelite tv, and in some cases a Air condtioned cell. Yu wonder why they want to go back????
They have no follow up supervision period. Case managers complain of low pay,too many inmates, and many other excuses, They go back to their hotels.

I thought it was to keep people like you in a job. Lower intelligence and education levels, no marketable skills beyond being a baby sitter.
Be nicer. Criminals provide you with a paycheck.
Aside from a few twisted few, or those who know nothing else, they don't commit crimes to go back to prison, the commit crimes to survive, that's their only skill and education.
Change that with something positive and they will have a better choice.
But people such as you don't want them to have an opportunity to change. Hence the recidivism.
Do you and your buddies use your fingers when you do a count?
