The Community Court in Hartford is pleased to be working once again with the Department of Mental Health andAddiction Services (DMHAS) to provide Access to Recovery (ATR) III services to eligible defendants. The Court andDMHAS worked closely to provide similar services under the ATR II program between 2008 and 2010.

ATR III is a federally-funded program through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA),Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) that provides assistance to people in recovery from alcohol and otherdrug use. These services include traditional clinical treatment, as well as non-traditional recovery supports. ATR III isdesigned to give people with substance use disorders wider access to people, programs, and systems within thecommunity that can help them start or continue on the road to recovery. To be eligible for ATR III, a person must be aConnecticut resident age 18 or older with a substance-use disorder or history. The person must also be involved with anapproved referral portal, which includes the Hartford Community Court. Program participants work with an AdvancedBehavioral Health (ABH) care coordinator who assists them indeveloping a recovery plan that allows an independent choice ofproviders to best meet their recovery needs. Licensed clinicaltreatment agencies as well as grassroots, community, and faith-based organizations are a part of the ATR III network of providers.

ABH provides the Community Court with Care Coordinator Kim Beachevery Friday. While at 80 Washington St., Ms. Beach can see up to 17clients per day.

“Kim has done an outstanding job with our defendants,” the Hon.Raymond Norko said. “She works hard to help defendants get theservices they need and on the road to recovery. We are grateful to herand ABH for their hard work and commitment to helping people inneed.”

PRESIDENT RECOGNIZES COMMUNITY COURTSAS IMPORTANT TOOL FOR DRUG CONTROL

The Executive Office of the President’s Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) just released its 2011National Drug Control Strategy. For the second year in a row, the Strategy endorses community courts (alongwith drug courts) as effective court-based strategies for linking addicted offenders to treatment:

From the 2011 Strategy (p. 46):“The Obama Administration also supports community courts—neighborhood-based courts that address livabilityproblems, targeting non-violent quality-of-life crimes, while providing immediate defendant accountability to thecommunity. These community courts involve stakeholders both within and outside of the justice system,including community residents, businesses, schools, and religious leaders. The courts proactively address localpublic safety concerns with community-based and community-designed solutions to the problems whileproviding necessary services to the offenders. In an effort to spread best practices to jurisdictions throughoutthe country, the Center for Court Innovation and BJA hosted the first International Conference of CommunityCourts in 2010 and are currently working with three community courts in Dallas, Hartford (Connecticut), andSeattle to serve as regional mentors for other jurisdictions on community court issues.”

JOHN SIMS: GIVING TO OTHERSTHROUGH VOLUNTEERING

It is often said that the best reward comes from giving to others, but the Community Court has truly received atreasure from someone who gives of his time and his knowledge: Judicial Volunteer John Sims. Mr. Simsvolunteers his time three days a week at the Community Court helping run the waiting room window andassisting the social services and community service teams. Court staff first knew Mr. Sims when he worked as aconsumer liaison at Advanced Behavioral Health of Middletown. He was an outstanding wealth of knowledgeabout programs and he helped to connect dozens of defendants with services. When Mr. Sims left ABH, heoffered his time to the Community Court, where he has become a vital part of the team.

“We are very grateful to Mr. Sims for his time and his hard work,” Judge Norko said. “He has been a tremendousresource for us and he is a true pleasure to have working with us in the Community Court.”

Prior to his decade working for ABH, Mr. Sims had volunteeredwith the Judicial Branch in the Office of Adult Probation forten years. Prior to that, Mr. Sims worked as a surgicaltechnician at Hartford Hospital where he was a supervisor inthe orthopedics and neurosurgical operating rooms. He is a1990 graduate of Manchester Community College and he alsoattended Central Connecticut State University, where he isreturning to earn the last four credits of his Bachelor’sDegree. Mr. Sims also served in the Army’s 82nd Airbornebetween 1950 and 1953.

Mr. Sims is a strong advocate for the spirit of volunteeringand encourages others to give of their time and themselves.

“Volunteering can give a person a sense of what they want todo in life,” Mr. Sims said. “You also meet people and you neverknow what kind of future opportunity can present itself fromthose connections.” John Sims

positive impact on the city. Projects arevaried, ranging from picking up litter onHartford streets, to graffiti removal, to

working with Riverfront Recapture to clean theareas near the river and to build walking trails,

MY INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCEAT COMMUNITY COURT

by Eric Crockett, Penn State LawThe past two and a half months interning at the Hartford CommunityCourt have been very enlightening. After finishing my first year at PennState Law, I realize there is much to learn about the judicial system thatis not taught in the classroom. The Community Court has provided mewith many beneficial learning experiences. Additionally, I was also glad tobe back home in Connecticut where I would be more familiar with localissues affecting the community.

My first experience at the Community Court came about ten years ago.My eighth grade history class visited the court to better understand ourjudicial system. I remember the courtroom to be a very intimidatingplace. To most, the courtroom is intimidating, but I learned this summerthat it is a place where people are treated equally and are given everyopportunity to succeed and better their lives. The Community Court’sapproach to rehabilitation is truly unique. The court’s extensiveapplication of various social service programs gives every person achance to turn his or her life around. Moreover, the opportunity to haveone’s charges dismissed from one’s record is equally important to the

rehabilitation process.

The Community Court is also unique for its approach to restorative justice. In Community Court, defendantsare held accountable for their actions and must do community service in lieu of a fine or incarceration.Generally, since most of the crimes in Community Court are “quality of life” crimes, the true victim is thecommunity as a whole. The community service program helps restore the community and it shows defendantshow to responsibly contribute to the community. It also serves as a deterrent against future crimes.Interestingly, I have witnessed several defendants who stated they would rather be incarcerated than have todo community service.

I have greatly enjoyed my time working within the various departments of the Community Court. Each plays anintricate role in ensuring the success of the court. The goal is to address these defendants’ low level quality oflife crimes right away, rather than wait until the defendants’ criminal activity becomes much more serious. Thepeople working in the court are passionate about what they do as they understand the impact they can makeon so many lives. I learned a great amount from everyone I worked with as each person was very willing toanswer all my questions. Such exposure helped me better understand the dynamics of the court, which couldnot be learned in the classroom.

Overall, my experience interning at the Hartford Community Court has helped me gain a new perspective on thecriminal judicial system. The Community Court’s approach is fairly new, but I believe it should be implementedin more cities across the country in order to proactively deal with criminal activity in the community. I wouldlike to thank Judge Norko and Chris Pleasanton for the opportunity to intern within the court this summer. Iwould also like to thank everyone I met throughout my internship as you were all so welcoming to me.

COMMUNITY COURT WORKS TO UNDOVANDALISM AT

HARTFORD’S SPRING GROVE CEMETERY

On a mid-August weekend, vandals violated the graves ofmore than thirty people in Hartford’s Spring Grove Cemeteryby overturning gravestones and monuments. The vandalsstruck section five of the cemetery, which was designated asa special location reserved for Hartford’s African Americancommunity, including many African American Civil Warveterans who fought bravely to eliminate slavery andpreserve the Union. Hartford’s first African Americanfirefighter, Henry Jackson and his wife are also buried there.

When contacted by Hartford Police Deputy Chief Horvath tosee if the Community Court could help restore the damage tothe cemetery, Court Planner Chris Pleasanton and CPACommunity Service Program Manager Chris Mena went toSpring Grove to meet with Caretaker Al Lennox. What theysaw was appalling; thirty gravestones were knocked over,some even broken. The two were so moved by what they sawthat they volunteered their help and personally went back tothe cemetery and lifted and replaced a dozen of thegravestones. Others were either too heavy to lift withoutmachinery or were too damaged to replace at this time.

“This is an affront to Hartford by very unthinking vandals,”Chris Mena said. “We were glad to help out to try to restoreat least some dignity to the great and brave people who areburied there.”

Spring Grove Cemetery, which is an interfaith cemeterylocated at 2035 Main Street in Hartford, was placed on theNational Register of Historic Places in 2007 by the UnitedStates Department of the Interior. In addition to the AfricanAmerican heroes buried in section five, other prominent 19th

and 20th century Hartford residents are buried thereincluding composer Henry Clay Work (1832-1884), AmericanSchool for the Deaf founder Laurent Clerc (1785-1869) andartist Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900). For moreinformation on Spring Grove please visit their website atwww.springgrovecemeteryhartford.com or call Mr. Lennox at(860) 525-8502.
