In April 2016, The Lawrence County Prosecutor's Office began a Felony Diversion Program. The Program is designed to cut costs on incarceration for state and local governments while providing the appropriate substance use and mental health treatment. The goal is to reduce the jail population while providing individual services to help reduce the risk of recidivism and treat their addiction and mental health issues. This program requires consent from the victim(s) and the arresting agency before enrollment. Individuals charged with low-level, non-violent offenses who complete this program will not be charged with a felony. The individuals are provided through this program with a chance to succeed.
