AG Curtis Hill helps launch Jail Chemical Addiction Program to serve Scott County

Scottsburg, IN—Joined by local officials, Attorney General Curtis Hill announced Wednesday that Scott County in southern Indiana will receive a $60,000 grant from the Indiana Drug Enforcement Association for the purpose of starting a Jail Chemical Addiction Program (JCAP). The award is made possible through seed funding from the Office of the Indiana Attorney General, which also helps administer the grant process.

Through JCAPs, inmates with substance abuse issues are enrolled into quality long-term treatment programs that begin during incarceration and continue upon the inmates’ release.
