Got this feedback from Mike Brown, County Judge of Tom Green County.<BR/><BR/>"Jim, Tom Green County created the Alternative Incarceration Program 10 years ago. The Smith County (Tyler) Probation (CSCD) dept. officials came here for 3 days and learned all about our program. They returned to Tyler armed with their new found knowledge and our documentation and created their program. Undisputedly, our program was the first in the state. AIC program savings to Tom Green County for FY2007 (9-1-06 thru 8-31-07) $2.284 million."<BR/><BR/>Posted with his permission. There are counties out here that get it.<BR/><BR/>Jim Turner<BR/>Webmaster AT conchoinfo.orgJim Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03413663900509725906noreply@blogger.com
