"Drug courts transform lives by combining personal
responsibility and accountability." |
Community Impact
The impact of these drug courts is astonishing. Remarkably, 75% of Drug Court graduates remain arrest free, and the longest Drug Court study to date found reductions in crime last as long as 14 years. By comparison, only 30% of individuals released from prison never reoffend. At the same time, the average annual cost per prisoner in the traditional criminal justice system is $22,650. The average annual cost per Drug Court participant is $6,985. Drug Courts transform lives by combining personal responsibility and accountability. |
