he has gotten things to where most folks who are in the jail can get treated. he says that the hard part is that in the county jail people can be there one day and gone the next. they try to release them with a referral and weeks worth of meds, but that is about all they can do right now.
they are adding drug treatment, and working to add halfway housing that has the necessary support.

he also has accepted just about any suggestion that has an funds attached for any kind of job training. they now have a flock of chickens.
