Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” MAY 22, 2020

Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” MAY 22, 2020

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.
The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.

Office of the Indiana Attorney General awards grant for Jail Chemical Addiction Program in Marshall County

0

The Office of the Indiana Attorney General today announced that it has awarded a grant to the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department for the creation of a Jail Chemical Addiction Program (JCAP) in the Marshall County Jail.

The office, in collaboration with the Indiana Drug Enforcement Association, has now awarded grants to help launch JCAP programs that serve Marshall, Shelby, Montgomery, Kosciusko, Fountain, Warren and Scott counties. JCAP programs in Dearborn and Boone counties were implemented before the Office of the Attorney General began its grant process.

A large percentage of offenders in Indiana have substance abuse issues. JCAP allows participating inmates to receive treatment in a secure, therapeutic and drug-free environment that is separate from the general inmate population. The program is voluntary.

“As Sheriff of Marshall County, I am very excited about partnering with the Indiana Attorney General’s Office and creating a JCAP at the Marshall County Jail,” said Marshall County Sheriff Matthew Hassel. “This grant will allow us to provide treatment services to our inmate population in hopes of creating brighter futures for them. It will also help us position them for success when they leave the jail and reduce the rate of recidivism in our county. We are very grateful to the Attorney General’s office for awarding us this grant.”

JCAP is certified through the Indiana Department of Mental Health and Addiction. The two main services participants receive are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and substance abuse counseling. CBT is a psycho-social intervention that is proven to be an effective treatment for substance abuse. It teaches coping skills to those with addictions in an effort to reduce the addict’s dependency on drugs and alcohol.

JCAP substance abuse counseling is conducted by social workers with master’s degrees and is carried out in both an individual and group format. Individual counseling takes place at least every two weeks.

In Dearborn County, JCAP is credited with helping slash the number of repeat drug offenders by more than half. Approximately 43% of general-population inmates in Dearborn County wind up being arrested again upon release. By contrast, only 18% of JCAP graduates are picked up for new offenses upon release, according to Dearborn County’s data.

Indiana University researchers also found the Dearborn County program to be effective, contributing to lower recidivism rates and reduced crime in the county.

“We are very fortunate to have secured this grant to empower the Sheriff to develop a Jail Chemical Addiction Program,” Marshall County Prosecutor E. Nelson Chipman Jr. said. “By providing programs to pretrial detainees voluntarily willing to avail themselves of the opportunity of self-improvement while awaiting resolution of their cases, our local criminal justice system will be able to assist short-term incarcerated persons who otherwise might fall through the cracks of available services and programs.”

Trooper Tyler Widner receives “2019 Trooper of the District” Award

0

Through his hard work and dedication to public service, Trooper Tyler Widner has been selected as the “2019 Trooper of the District” for the Evansville District. This award is presented to the Trooper at each of the 14 districts throughout the state who has achieved outstanding efforts in the area of traffic and criminal enforcement, case and crash investigation, public information programs and community service.

Widner is a three-year veteran of the Indiana State Police and is currently assigned to the All Crimes Policing squad, which aggressively focuses on illegal drug and criminal activity.

Widner put forth an outstanding effort towards the district’s All Crimes Policing initiative. During 2019, Trooper Widner was involved in 49 criminal investigations, which resulted in the arrest of 87 criminal defendants for a total of 229 criminal offenses. Trooper Widner also initiated over 630 traffic stops, which resulted in 13 impaired drivers being arrested and numerous drug arrests. Traffic violations often led to drug investigations, resulting in the arrest of multiple methamphetamine dealers in and around Evansville. “Trooper Widner and his All Crimes Policing counterparts have made a significant impact in the trafficking of illegal drugs and weapons in the Evansville District and are to be commended for their efforts,” said Lieutenant Brian Bailey, Commander of the Evansville District. Trooper Widner’s investigations also led to the discovery and seizure of more than 20 firearms. Several of those firearms were possessed by serious violent felons.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT UPDATES STATEWIDE COVID-19 CASE COUNTS

0

The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) today announced that 676 additional Hoosiers have been diagnosed with COVID-19 through testing at ISDH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and private laboratories. That brings to 29,936 the total number of Indiana residents known to have the novel coronavirus following corrections to the previous day’s total.

 Intensive care unit and ventilator capacity remain steady. As of today, more than 39 percent of ICU beds and nearly 81 percent of ventilators were available as of Thursday.

 A total of 1,764 Hoosiers are confirmed to have died from COVID-19, an increase of 48 over the previous day. Another 149 probable deaths have been reported based on clinical diagnoses in patients for whom no positive test is on record. Deaths are reported based on when data are received by ISDH and occurred over multiple days.

                                                        To date, 202,995 tests have been reported to ISDH, up from 195,738 on Wednesday.

                         Marion County had the most new cases, at 162. Other counties with more than 10 new cases were Allen (35), Boone (13), Clinton (22), Delaware (22), Elkhart (67), Hamilton (18), Hendricks (30), Henry (13), Johnson (18), Lake (64), St. Joseph (29), Tippecanoe (11) and White (13). A complete list of cases by county is posted at www.coronavirus.in.gov, which is updated daily at noon. Cases are listed by county of residence.

 Hoosiers who have symptoms of COVID-19 and those who have been exposed and need a test to return to work are encouraged to visit a state-sponsored testing site for free testing. Individuals without symptoms who are at high risk because they are over age 65, have diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure or another underlying condition, as well as those who are pregnant, live with a high-risk individual or are a member of a minority population that is at greater risk for severe illness, also are encouraged to get tested.

 ISDH is holding drive-thru testing clinics today through Saturday in Brazil, Hammond, Shelbyville and Wheatfield. For details about these clinics, or to find other testing locations around the state, visit www.coronavirus.in.gov and click on the COVID-19 testing information link.
