“Thanks for not letting me give up.” Those were the words of Blake,
a Chisago County juvenile who appeared before 10th District Court Judge
Robert G. Rancourt on June 19; hopefully for the last time. See more in Patrick Tepoorten's ECM Post Review story.
Blake was a participant in the county’s Juvenile Substance Abuse
Court (JSAC), initiated here in December of 2004, and one of only four
in the state. It trades the opportunity to become drug- and
alcohol-free for a dismissal of pending criminal charges, and is
available to non-violent offenders who have committed a misdemeanor,
gross misdemeanor, and even a felony.
