Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Drug courts were designed to stop the cycle of crime and prison by directing repeat offenders toward treatment programs instead of lengthy prison sentences. But several Virginia lawmakers are now moving to erase funding for the state’s drug courts, arguing they’re too costly during lean economic times. Join Kojo as we explore the history and debate over drug courts.
