The BatBlog talked with a former Drug Court participant a couple of days ago, it was not anyone involved in the current controversy. Speaking on the promise of anonymity this young person had mixed feelings about his participation in the program. The participant while thinking drug court was a good idea with good intentions thought the overseeing by some of the employees was at times heavy handed bordering on harassment. Feeling that why participants need to be monitored, there should also be positive reinforcement for self help that the Drug court was seriously lacking. This participant didn't know the parties or details of the recent story in the news but said that he could see that as possibly happening. He had nothing but praise for the halfway house he resided in while in the drug court program. Residents had duties and chores required of them as well as meetings and it was a positive experience of reinforcement of helping those with their addictions. On the same behalf he thought administrators of the drug court were just waiting for them to fail and applied more tension to his recovery, then was actually needed....

ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work Hooisertaxpayer. These programs are suppose to help people. Sometimes this is all the hope as person has. It's obvious the wrong people were put in charge. Looks like 3 civil suits will hit Clark co because of the abuse of power. While I am a taxpayer as well... The cost of that makes me sick. But I cannot blame the participates. That's why you should never vote for a name. Do your homework has a voter!
