Iowa: Black Hawk County gets funds for drug courtWATERLOO --- Criminals with drug problems will get some help through a new program thanks to a federal grant.
The First Judicial District Department of Correctional Services has been cleared for a $447,648 U.S. Department of Justice grant to start a drug court in Black Hawk County.
The court concentrates on treating felons who commit crimes because of substance abuse issues. The county was approved for the drug court years ago by the Iowa Legislature.
But the funding to put it into place wasn't available at the state level, and two earlier attempts at a federal grant wasn't successful, said Karen Herkelman, district director for the Department of Correctional Services.
Black Hawk County Attorney Tom Ferguson said drug courts, like one in Polk County, have been shown to work.
"If we can deal with the substance abuse issues effectively ... it is a win for the individual and a win for the system," Ferguson said.
Drug court will be for clients charged with nonviolent felonies or parole and probation violations who would likely be going to prison.
The crimes can be for user amounts of drugs --- not for manufacturing or sale --- or offenses like forgery, theft or burglary, those usually associated with acquiring money to support a drug habit.
"We are looking at offenders whose drug addiction leads them to crime," Herkelman said.
Here's how it will work:
---After arrest, defendants are screened to see if they qualify for the program. They have to plead guilty to crime and then begin treatment through Pathways Behavior Services.
---While in the program they have to meet certain goals. They have routine visits with a parole officer and go before a judge a few times a month or any time they break the rules of the program to check on their status, Herkelman said.
---People in the program will be subject to frequent drug testing and have to work and perform community service.
---The typical offender will be in the program for 12 to 18 months. Upon completion, he will have avoided serving prison time. Ideally, he will no longer be using drugs and will be a productive citizen, Ferguson said.
"We have seen real results from Iowa's drugs court over the years," Sen. Tom Harkin said. "These funds will help continue this important program that works hard to help people stop using drugs and lead productive lives in Iowa."
While the county has had a relatively stable population, the courts have seen a growth in felonies and aggravated misdemeanors.
There were just 765 such cases in 1988, just before crack cocaine became popular. In 2004, after explosions in both crack and methamphetamine, there were 2,100 felony and aggravated misdemeanor cases, Ferguson said.
The $447,000 grant will pay to start up the special court and keep it running for two years.
It will cover the salary and benefits for two probation officers, office equipment, county attorney and public defender time, drug testing and counseling through Pathways.
The money will also fund an evaluation of Black Hawk County's drug court.
The program will serve about 25 to 50 felons during its first two years.
