New drug court in Tulsa
The Tulsa County Drug Court has begun a program aimed at helping veterans kick their addictions. The Veterans Treatment Court docket began this week. The head of the Tulsa chapter of Disable American Veterans told the Tulsa World that fallout from active duty is what leads many vets to get into trouble in the first place. Drug courts are an effective way to keep nonviolent offenders out of jail and allow them a chance to turn their lives around. The judge who will preside over Tulsa’s new court says about one-third of the 158 veterans who entered the criminal justice system in October would have been eligible for the program. Tulsa is just the fourth city to implement a drug court for veterans. Kudos and good luck.
