ONR Extra Criminal Justice (1:57)

Oklahoma's criminal justice system is expensive and is not reducing violent crime. That's the conclusion from a team of consultants who have studied the state's sentencing structure, prison system and crime rates. House Speaker Kris Steele has held a series of public meetings to show the results of the study and gather information on what needs to be done to actually improve Oklahoma’s criminal justice system. In this ONR Extra we have a sampling of information from a public hearing in Muskogee.

Addiction Treatment & OK Watch (13:20)
Featured in Top Stories
Oklahoma continues to send more women to prison than any other state. 63 percent of them suffer from substance abuse. Despite treatment in prison, many of the women get out, start using again and eventually end up back behind bars. A relatively new therapy is looking at addiction from a gender based perspective. It explores women's childhood traumas as the springboard to their cycle of drug and alcohol abuse. According to the institute for child advocacy there are 27,000 children of incarcerated parents in Oklahoma. Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Oklahoma finds mentors to help these children break the inter-generational cycle of crime through the "Amachi" program. However due to federal budget cuts that program is now in jeopardy. We spoke with Jaclyn Cosgrove who is covering this issue for Oklahoma Watch.
