[Tribal-drug-courts] post ajudication vs. pre ajudication

[Bryan Harris]

Hello Adrian,
  Our Wellness Court Program was formulated from the National DWI Court model with the addition of Tribal Court partnership.  We are a Joint Jurisdiction Problem-Solving Court involving the local District Court and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Tribal Court.
  In the past we have operated at both a Pre-Plea / Pre-Sentence status and a Post-Conviction status.  As of late, we have had some constitutional challenges to the Pre-Plea / Pre-Sentence operation, therefore we have been working with a majority of Post-Conviction cases.   The pro of this approach tends to be a more constitutionally sound way of proceeding, yet the con is that the process is definitely slower.  When we were operating at more of a Pre-Plea / Pre-Sentence enrollment, we were able to get participants (who were truly eager to get help) into treatment almost immediately (within 72 hours from arrest).  Now the process is much more drawn out.
  I hope this information was helpful and please do not hesitate to contact this agent with further questions.  Have a great day!
