Felonizing a disease is not good, correct, does not help anybody.
Ever wondered how the criminal justice system intersects with addiction recovery, especially during a pandemic? In this episode of 'Get In The Herd', Nathan Mitchell sits down with Henrico Commonwealth's Attorney Shannon Taylor to tackle these pressing issues. Shannon dives into the unique challenges that COVID-19 has brought to the recovery community, particularly for those transitioning out of Henrico County jail.
She shares her thoughts on the importance of creating safe environments and the crucial role of organisations like the McShin Foundation and the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences in providing much-needed support. Shannon also explores the benefits of telemedicine and mental health counseling as alternative judicial approaches. She passionately argues against treating addiction as a crime, emphasizing the need for robust support systems to aid recovery.
This episode is packed with eye-opening insights and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the crossroads of justice and recovery.
