NADCP Receives More Support!

It is no surprise to the NADCP that overall, great improvement is made from those who enter into Drug Courts. Recently, the NADCP has received support from Martin Sheen. Sheen was among a diverse panel of experts to speak at a briefing regarding the latest Drug Court Research. Martin Sheen's appearance at Capitol Hill was to urge Members of Congress to continue their widespread support of Drug Courts. In the meeting, numerous members of Congress joined in the statement that, "We're all here today with one purpose, and that is to ensure that congress holds the line on the $88 million dollars that they are currently investing in Drug Courts." The Drug Court funding needs to continue because the individuals and families changed within this program are absolutely incredible. A Congressman quotes that he is very grateful for the compassion and concern that Americans have been showing towards the Drug Courts and that "they clearly understand the extraordinary bargain Drug Courts are for taxpayers, saving up to $27 for every $1 invested. Obviously Drug Courts are the very best deal Congress can make to reduce crime and the social consequences related to drug addiction and I am extremely confident that they will all rise to the occasion and return the appropriation necessary to continue the Drug Court dream, a dream that helps lift up this nation and all of its people.”

The NADCP fights for those people who deserve a second chance at life and want to clean up their pasts and make a new name for themselves. It is our job to help support this phenominal cause!
