YOUNGSTOWN Ten new Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Drug Court graduates had inspiring words to share Wednesday with their counselors.
“I just remember who I used to be. I never want to go back to that. I have my kids today. I have a job and have a house in my name,” one woman said in the courtroom of John Durkin, the judge in charge of the program.
Durkin’s felony drug court is where people are referred if their criminal activity is the result of a substance abuse problem. An evaluation is done to determine whether the person is a good candidate for the program. If the person completes the program successfully, they graduate and their criminal conviction is erased.
