After a year of planning, Mobile County is launching a new program to help veterans. The goal is to help veterans dealing with mental health problems or other issues.
Friday afternoon, Mobile County launched an initiative to help veterans with criminal histories get back on track.
Participants will partake in a 14-month program with the help of a mentor who will track each person’s progress and provide treatment based on their needs. Those with class A felonies will not be allowed to participate. Anyone interested will have to apply and go through a verification process to determine whether their current charges are tied to their military service.
Participants will meet with Judge Windom every other Friday. There are certain requirements — participants must remain sober during the course of the program and submit drug tests twice a week. They are also required to plead guilty to their current charges and sentencing will be withheld until the program is over.
