Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin is dedicating $1,000,000 in funding for drug treatment programs through the state’s specialty court system. As Daniel Breen with Little Rock Public Radio reports, Griffin says specialty courts aim to provide an alternative to incarceration. “The goal is to get these people treatment because it is saying that their challenge, their mental health challenges, addictions, whatever, that that’s the core of their problem. And, if we can deal with that, we are more likely to get them back on track and thriving in society.”
