Here is the first of our four-part article on how we can salvage the lives of vets who find themselves in conflict with the law.

Each of the programs this month will be in some way connected to the Florida Judicial District 13 Veterans Treatment Court. This court is a model for the national program approved by congress to set up courts that work to recover veterans who have come into conflict with the law. The first of these programs highlights the actions of our county sheriff’s office as it feeds veterans into this special program. We hope that if a program of this nature is not in your area, you will bring this podcast to the attention of those with the power to institute it.
