Ind. Courts - "Changes coming for Tippecanoe County Drug Court"
Sophia Voravong reports today in the Lafayette Journal Courier:
Nonviolent offenders charged in Tippecanoe County with narcotics-related offenses will no longer be offered Drug Court as an alternative to incarceration.The program will be phased out beginning in January from Tippecanoe County's Forensic Diversion Drug Court because of a lack of participants.
Forensic Diversion, which more narrowly focuses on nonviolent drug offenders with coexisting mental illnesses, will continue. The supervisory team also will stay in place. * * *
[T]he Forensic Diversion is coordinated through Community Corrections and funded by the Indiana Department of Correction. Drug Courtis coordinated through Court Services and supervised by the Indiana Judicial Center.
