On episode #160 of JoCo on the Go, we take a look at treatment courts in Johnson County. Building on the success of a Veterans Treatment Court, the county has launched two new treatment courts, one for behavioral health and another adult treatment court, commonly known as drug court. These courts provide pathways for defendants in the criminal justice system to receive supervision, evaluation and treatment for issues that may underlie criminal behavior instead of focusing on more traditional approaches.

In this episode,  we focus on Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) in District 11A which covers Harnett, Johnston, and Lee counties. Guests include Veterans Court Director Zane Campbell, District Attorney Suzanne Matthews (Prosecutorial District 12), and Harnett County Clerk of Superior Court Renee Whittenton. In the interview, guests discuss the court's process, the issues veterans face returning to civilian life, and Campbell shares his experience as a graduate of VTC before becoming its director. "I was struggling with opioid addiction. I was using substances to help combat all of the craziness that was going on in my head. Subconsciously, I didn't even realize what was going on," said Campbell on the podcast. "This court truly did save my life. I don't think I would be sitting here talking about any of this had it not been for this court." VTCs are one of six types of Recovery Courts within the Judicial Branch. These courts are designed to assist chemically dependent offenders with their court ordered treatment plans. The VTC in District 11A is one of eight VTCs in the state which have the mission to help veterans involved in the court system due to mental health disorders, trauma, and substance use. The goal of each VTC is to connect eligible veterans with benefits and treatment earned through military service. To learn more about VTCs, please visit NCcourts.gov.

Veterans Treatment Court is a place where some veterans who've gotten into legal trouble can focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment, and where the approach is tailored to vets.

Many men and women who fought for our country face another fight when they return home. Some have a hard time finding and keeping a job and a home, or experience mental health or substance use issues—which can lead to minor law offenses. The Veterans Treatment Court, supported by United Way, supports them on their journey to a stable civilian life and helps them avoid charges that can preclude their job and housing options. In this special episode of Barrier Breakers, we speak with program staff about how this program works, and with two veterans about how the Veterans Treatment Court changed their lives.

Bryan Watters, ND Veterans Service Officer Supervisor, joins Amy & JJ to talk about the services available to ND veterans - and the benefits available to those widows of ND service members.

Del is the Veterans Court Mentor Coordinator for the specialized and problem solving Veteran's Court. He has 30 years of United States Army service, a Master's Degree in Business Administration from Northern Illinois University and is well suited for Veterans Treatment Court. Veteran Specialty Court is designed for current and former military members who have been convicted of a non-violent offense and who have been diagnosed with a serious mental illness or need for substance abuse treatment. The goal of Veterans Treatment Court is to decrease the number of recurrent arrests that result from mental health and substance abuse issues by sending Veteran offenders to Veterans Affairs for their mental health and substance abuse issues rather than jail. Veterans treatment Court participants must make regular court appearances before the designated Veterans Court judge, submit to frequent and random drug/alcohol testing, substance abuse counseling, and a system of behavior modification based on incentives and sanctions. Saam sits down with Bingham to discuss the new Illinois law related to the benefits of cashless bail and a few other criminal justice related issues.Sign up for the FREE Dewhitt L.

For this Veterans Corner Radio podcast, Bill dips back into our archives and shares with you a program we played on the air prior to the birth of the podcasts. His guest is the Honorable Judge Gregory P. Holder 13th Judicial Circuit Civil Division. Judge Holder will discuss the origins and current operations of the Hillsborough Veterans' Court. He also talks about this particular court is unique and how it is currently being looked at as a model for a Federal Veterans Court. One note we should make is that he references a federal act in progress designed to take courts like this all across the nation. That act has now been passed and signed into law thanks to people like judge Holder and others who saw the need.

According to a report from the US Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics, nearly 8% of all inmates serving time in state and federal prisons and local jails are veterans. Despite making up a sizeable portion of the criminal justice system, diversion options specific to veterans are few and far between. In 2008 however Judge Robert Russell, the presiding judge of the Buffalo Drug and Mental health Courts, established the Nation’s first Veterans Treatment Court intended to provide structure and rehabilitation for military men and women. In 2016, Johnson County followed suit and established the first and only Veteran’s Treatment Court in Kansas. Now, with eyes on criminal justice reform across the counrty, several legal leaders in Kansas are encouraging more of these treatment courts be adopted across the state.

Her ongoing study of America’s veteran workforce have made her a leading voice on the barriers and keys to success for their employment. She is a seasoned speaker and media resource, earning respect and praise from her peers.A native of Richmond, Indiana, Robyn holds a master’s in psychology focused on Leadership Coaching. Her capstone project during her graduate studies emphasized coaching military veterans during their transition back to the civilian workforce. Committed to giving back, Robyn has volunteered for American Red Cross, The MS Society, United Way, March of Dimes, Upstate Warrior Solution, IVMF Mentor Program, and Veterans Treatment Court. She is a member of SHRM and serves on the Workforce Readiness Council of the Greenville SHRM chapter.Today she is focused entirely on ensuring veterans are recognized for their skills, valued for their talent and that America’s employers realize the full value and skills of America’s heroes, poised in the civilian workforce to truly ascend.A recruiter came to Robyn’s high school and she saw the Navy as her ticket out of her small town and decided to join the military. It was 1979 and during the Cold War. People didn’t understand or want women in the military and she found that to be a challenge. When it came time to pick her career field nine out of the ten jobs she wanted were not available to her because her gender. She ended up picking Data Processing and it was a good career field for her while she was in Iceland. In Iceland she met her future husband and had to move to Florida for a year before being stationed with her husband in Maine. Shortly after getting stationed together her daughter was born. Her husband had just come home from deployment, they were finally living together and she was adjusting to being a mom. And it was difficult, but they were able to make it work and she was able to segment her life in the military and her job as a mom. When they got orders to Pearl Harbor she asked to be assigned to a ship. At the time, women could not be on a ship with dependents. She would have had to give up legal custody of her daughter to do this. And this wasn’t something she was willing to do. Nor was it a requirement for her male counterparts. She decided to become an officer so she could change the military. She got her package together and in the end her package wasn’t even opened by the board. This crushed her. At the same time, she hadn’t signed her reenlistment paperwork before she left for training and decided after that event, she was ready to leave the Navy behind. Because of that error she didn’t have a plan to leave the military. She didn’t get any help with her transition and she made her way to Florida to start her new life. She walked away from the military and her veteran community. It was 22 years later that she got connected with the military veteran community.  Connect with Robyn:https://www.veterans.veteransascend.comwww.facebook.com/veteransascendwww.linkedin.com/company/veteransascendwww.instagram.com/veteransascendMentioned in this Episode:A Girls Guide to the MilitaryRelated Episodes:From Navy to Entrepreneurship – Episode 27From the Navy to the Air Force – Episode 15Giving Back After Service to Find Healing – Episode 56Do you want to hear more stories of military women?

Host Mike Siddall talks with guests Judge Gill and Beth Robinson about Veterans Treatment Court.

Historically, judges have sanctioned defendants for breaking laws or for causing harm to other parties.  Depending on the severity of the offense, judges could impose a number of sanctions, like monetary fines, jail or prison sentences, or community service. When processing cases in this traditional manner, at times the Courts may overlook the underlying issues that cause some defendants to consistently reoffend – and tax the courts’ scarce resources. In recent years, Courts have come up with alternate ways of addressing these types of cases by setting up special courts. In this podcast, Judge Lauten sits down with Judge Reginald Whitehead to discuss the Circuit’s Problem Solving Courts, also referred to as Specialty Courts. Tune in to find out how these courts are changing the way cases are processed, enabling persons to return more quickly to being productive members of society, reducing the recidivism rate among its program participants, and saving taxpayers thousands of dollars. Judge Whitehead was appointed to the Orange County bench in 1994 and became a circuit judge the following year. Throughout his long judicial career with the Ninth Judicial Circuit, he has presided over almost every division. He is currently the administrative judge over the Circuit’s Unified Problem Solving Court division, which includes Drug Court, Early Childhood Court, Mental Health Court, and Veterans Treatment Court. Let us know what you think about the podcast.
