Virginia Organizing Project Hold Drug Court Forum in Lee County
Virginia Organizing Project Hold Drug Court Forum in Lee County – LEE COUNTY, VA- With local jail costs crippling the Lee County budget, The Virginia Organizing Project held a forum Friday to support the use of drug courts as an alternative to the existing expensive and ineffective justice and treatment system. Advocates from the judiciary, prosecution, defense bar, probation, law enforcement, mental health, social service, and treatment communities gathered at the Mountain Empire Community College to educate the public on the benefit of Drug Courts and to encourage state Delegate Terry Kilgore to support the funding of a Drug Court in Lee County. Drug Courts are widely supported among the criminal justice and substance abuse treatment communities as an effective alternative to jail time and probation. Rufus Bryant is a Recovery Coach with Lee County Behavioral Health and is a strong supporter of Drug Courts.
