Episode description

King County’s Drug Diversion Court is celebrating its 30th anniversary. It was one of the first programs in the nation to help people clear their criminal records, if they enter treatment and stop using drugs. But amidst the opioid epidemic, drug court enrollment has shrunk in recent years. KUOW's Amy Radil tells us how King County is hoping to change that.
