We've been fortunate that we've been taking advantage of technology and conducted some court cases via video, meaning we can get people through the process without a lot of movement, without keeping that distance, keeping folks safe.
What happens when a global pandemic intersects with the already complex world of addiction recovery for inmates? In this episode of 'Get In The Herd', Nathan Mitchell sits down with Sheriff Alisa Gregory of Henrico County and Jesse Wysocki, COO of The McShin Foundation, to explore this very question. With COVID-19 limiting in-person support and resources, Sheriff Gregory and Wysocki have turned to technology to bridge the gap.
They share how virtual court cases and online support initiatives have become vital tools in their efforts to help inmates with substance use disorders. The conversation also delves into the crucial role of re-entry programs and the challenges of coordinating multiple agencies to provide comprehensive support. Sheriff Gregory and Wysocki's dedication shines through as they discuss 'recovery capital'—the personal and community resources necessary for individuals to overcome addiction.
Their insights offer a blend of hope and practical advice, demonstrating the power of community efforts in addressing addiction, even in the face of unprecedented challenges. Tune in to hear how these leaders are making a difference and providing a lifeline to those who need it most.
