It's not often you hear offenders say they love court, but a new 'wheel of incentives' offered at Marion County's drug court is making that sentiment stand true.
The year-long program is designed to help certain heavy drug users charged with felonies get their life back on track.The drug court program is designed to be a year long, and not everyone gets to take part in court.People are usually recommended for the program by a Marion County deputy prosecutor.Regardless of court appearances, defendants have to get drug tested twice a week, stay in communication with their lawyers and case managers and engage in treatment.
Other case managers, like Madisen Martin, says it is an opportunity to give people down on their luck a chance at success. "We're here to help our clients. We're here to make sure that when our clients are done with the program, they have the opportunity to stay sober and their cases are dismissed," Judge Salinas said.Thought the program is intense for all of the participants, the court is doing what they can to make it lighthearted.Participants who are in good standing with the court, get a shot at the"wheel of fun.
