When COVID-19 turned the world upside down, it didn't just disrupt daily life; it also threw the legal system into chaos. In this eye-opening episode of M2 THE ROCK, Michael Molthan chats with Judge Jennifer Bennett to shed light on how the pandemic has affected drug courts. Ever wondered what happens to probation and court hearings during a lockdown?

One key takeaway is the power of communication. Judge Bennett emphasizes the need for frequent check-ins with probation officers and support groups, which have become even more crucial during lockdown.

Judge Bennett points out that recovery is a continuous journey, and there's no 'graduation' from it. The criminal justice system can often feel like a revolving door, but with the right support and tools, breaking the cycle is possible. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to hear how you can navigate these challenging times with resilience and hope.
