Description
The South Bay House of Correction in Dorchester realizes that there isn't a one-size-fits-all cure for the opioid crisis. Mayor Walsh and Suffolk County Sheriff Steven Tompkins launch the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department's Opioid and Addiction Services Inside South Bay Unit (OASIS).
A
A
A
I'm
gonna
do
a
little
housekeeping
thank
folk
that
are
here
for
coming
and
then
superintendent
Smith
will
come
up
and
actually
give
you,
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
how
the
Oasis
program
is
going
to
be
effectuated,
followed
by
two
of
the
detainees
that
are
here
with
us
they're
going
to
talk
about
how
important
it
is
and
then
we'll
go
on
from
there
so
quickly.
This,
let
me
say
this:
what
was
it
Frank
three
years
ago?
A
Who
did
you
open
yours
about
two
years
ago,
three
years
ago,
former
sheriff
Essex
County
Sheriff
Frank
Cousins
began
one
of
these
centers.
We
actually
looked
at
the
fact
that
we
need
more
beds
and
if
there
aren't
enough
beds
outside
of
a
correction
facility,
then
why
not
have
beds
inside
a
correction
facility
that
could
really
help
folk
get
over
their
addiction
problems
and
any
other
issues
that
we
can
help
them
with.
A
At
the
end
of
the
day,
we
are
the
house
of
correction,
we're
not
the
house
of
warehousing
people
are
going
to
go
home
and
the
question
is:
how
do
you
want
them
to
return
when
they
go
home
and
it's
our
contention
that
they
should
return
in
a
better
state
with
more
opportunities
than
when
they
left
home?
So
please
give
sheriff
cousins
around
a
Rapala
plaus
for
all.
A
A
A
A
And
he's
brought
about
49
people,
so
I'm,
not
gonna
name
them
all
together,
but
he's
brought
is
true,
and
so
thank
you
so
much
John
Kathy
O'leary,
director
of
recovery
services,
Norfolk
I'm,
sorry,
North,
Suffolk,
Mental,
Health,
Tamara,
O'sullivan,
director
of
Alchemy's,
we're
at
which
you
go.
This
is
in
the
back.
Please
give
her
a
hand.
A
A
A
Okay,
dr.
Lisa
Simon
is
in
the
house
also
Dominic
Dominic.
What's
your
last
name,
No
Dominic,
probation
officer,
sorry
brother!
Thank
you.
So
much
for
being
here,
I
mean
white,
another
probation
officer,
okay.
Well,
then,
I've
got
a
list
of
knows
like
the
governor
is
not
here,
but
we
know
that
he
sees
a
he's.
A
big
fan
of
this
and
he's
really
worked
mightily
to
address
this
situation
and
to
help
out
now
there
are
others
that
are
not
on
my
list
and
I'm.
A
Sorry
that
I,
don't
I
didn't
give
you
all
the
shout
out,
but
please
know
this
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
and
from
the
folks
that
work
here
at
the
Sheriff's
Department
plus
everyone
at
the
day's.
We
truly
thank
you
for
all
that
you're
doing
to
really
fortify
and
strengthen
our
communities.
Now
with
that
said,
I'm
going
to
bring
superintendent
ulanda
Smith
to
the
microphone
and
she
is
going
to
tell
you
exactly
how
the
Oasis
program
is
running.
Please
I
have
for
our
superintendent
Smith.
B
Good
morning,
everyone
thank
you
for
coming
to
the
grand
opening
of
the
Oasis
eunuch,
and
everyone
hear
me
in
the
back.
Ok,
good
I
have
had
the
pleasure
of
watching
this
unit
transform
from
a
general
population
unit
for
male
detainees
into
a
unit
where
treatment
is
the
focus
for
all
who
reside
there.
When
the
unit
first
opened,
my
staff
and
I
toured
the
unit,
and
we
spend
some
time
talking
with
men
about
what
they
were
about
to
embark
upon.
B
Many
of
them
said
they
were
scared
and
uncomfortable,
because
for
some
it
was
the
first
time
they
were
admitting
that
they
had
an
addiction
and
for
some
being
vulnerable,
was
taking
them
truly
out
of
their
comfort
zone.
But
overwhelmingly
most
responses
were
that
they
were
happy
to
receive
services
and
a
discharge
plan.
While
they
were
waiting
on
their
cases
to
be
adjudicated.
The
unit
has
sparked
some
serious
buzz.
B
We
have
a
plethora
of
meetings
scheduled
with
community
stakeholders
and
partners
to
discuss
how
we
can
collaboratively
provide
these
men
with
the
best
treatment
services
we
can
and,
more
importantly,
what
the
discharge
plan
that
is
created
specifically
for
them
and
when
we
have
this
unit
under
our
belt.
This
is
what
you
really
have
to
listen.
The
share
of
Tompkins
do
something
really
good
I
see
in
our
future
oasis
to
which
will
be
for
the
women.
B
She
oversees
the
unit
and
works
closely
with
the
ad
care
staff.
Rochelle
just
recently
judged
an
art
competition,
and
while
there
is
a
winner,
she
was
able
to
pick
something
from
every
drawing
and
put
it
together
for
one
display
that
will
that
will
be
in
the
unit
for
all
to
see
and
to
give
the
unit
more
of
a
treatment
vibe.
So
thank
you
for
a
shelf
for
all.
You
do
and
thank
you
for
figuring
out
that
contest,
because
I
wanted
no
part
of
having
to
pick
just
one
winner,
I.
B
Also
want
to
thank
ABS,
Lockhart,
major
Thomas
and
assistant
superintendent
McCarthy
for
embracing
the
innovation
it
has
taken
to
get
this
unit
up
and
running,
and
all
hit
is
all
it
has
taken
to
put
this
event
together
today,
I,
usually,
don't
usually
don't
start
naming
people
because
I'm
going
to
forget
someone,
but
I
just
want
everyone
to
know
that
this
is
truly
a
team
effort
and
the
officers
the
caseworkers.
Everyone
has
embraced
this
because
they
know
that
we
cannot
continue
to
do
things
as
we
did.
You
know.
B
C
Truly
honored
to
be
here
today
and
in
the
Oasis
program,
I've
been
waiting
a
long
time
to
see
programs
being
introduced
to
prisons
and
jails
because
it's
taught
yet
the
true
recovery
starts
here
and
a
lot
of
us.
We
don't
get
arrested,
we
get
rescued,
and
you
know
in
some
cases
such
as
mine.
That
was
the
case,
but
it's
truly
an
honor
to
be
here
and
I
want
to
thank
shield
redundant
Schmidt
for
your
openness
program.
Janine.
Thank
you,
David.
Thank
you.
Thank
everybody.
D
Morning,
everyone
I
think
that
the
showing
speaks
for
itself.
For
me,
it's
probably
too
late,
but
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
could
take
advantage
of
these
programs.
We
see
it
all
too
clear.
Driving
in
you've
probably
seen
the
chaos
that's
going
on
outside.
It's
not
getting
any
better.
You
know,
locking
people
away
takes
fathers
away
from
children
taking
children
away
from
their
fathers
usually
breeds
more
of
what
happens
to
men.
D
Like
me,
you
know
my
children
are
gonna
have
to
suffer
now
because
of
my
mistakes,
and
they
were
my
mistakes,
but
at
the
same
time
we
all
have
to
collectively
figure
out
what
is
going
on
drugs
is
at
the
root
of
everything.
It
might
not
be
my
personal
problem
with
drugs,
but
drugs
has
affected
me
in
a
way
that
I
can
never
get
back
myself.
You
know
the
crack
epidemic
of
the
80s
led
led
me
in
a
path
to
where
I
can
make
money
off
of
drugs.
What
did
that?
D
Do
that
led
me
to
gangs
from
gangs
it
led
me
to
other
places
now
I
was
able
to
grasp
some
of
the
recovery.
I
was
able
to
grasp
some
of
the
resources
that
I
had
I
did
change
my
ways,
but
I
was
still
engulfed
in
these
hoods.
I
was
still
engulfed
in
these,
these
cesspools
of
drug
addiction
and
crime,
and
it
led
me
here
and
I.
D
You
know
I've
disappointed
my
family,
but
most
men
don't
know
what
resources
they
have
each
and
every
one
of
you
serve
a
purpose,
but
how
many
people
know
of
your
purpose
or
know
of
your
resource?
Always
this
has
given
us
a
lot
of
knowledge
about
what
is
out
there.
There's
so
many
people
doing
good
things
out
there,
but
we
never
hear
it.
We
never
see
it.
It's
not
prevalent
for
us,
so
I
appreciate
what
they're
doing,
because
it
starts
off
something.
When
you
take
care
of
drugs,
you
take
care
of
a
lot
of
other
things.
D
These
are
these
gangs,
the
violence
and
everything
else
is
all
combined.
Everything
is
as
one
and
if
you
take
care
of
one
problem,
you
can
take
care
of
another
and
I'm
grateful
to
be
up
here,
and
it
serves
me
no
purpose
to
be
up
here
and
lie
to
anybody.
Why?
Because
I'm
only
lying
to
myself,
if
I
don't
give
it
away,
my
kids
won't
get
it.
You
know
just
like
I
said
it's
probably
too
late
for
men
like
me
and
Duty.
D
We're
probably
gonna
have
to
go,
do
what
we
have
to
do,
but
for
other
men
that
come
in
for
the
first
time
you
might
save
their
life.
My
stop
him
from
doing
what
we've
done
for
so
long.
You
know,
and
it
shouldn't
even
take
men
to
come
to
prison
to
get
these
resources.
You
know
it's
it's
humbling
to
see
how
many
people
have
showed
up
here.
D
You
know,
there's
a
gentleman
in
the
crowd
right
now
that
runs
my
my
community
on
Crimewatch
and
for
a
long
time
when
I
was
a
kid
I
thought
he
was
a
squid,
but
now
I
see
that
he
was
a
hero.
You
understand,
like
I,
see
now
that
he
wanted
to
protect
this
community
where
I
wanted
to
destroy
my
community,
and
it's
very
humbling
to
see
everyone
here
and
I.
Thank
everybody.
A
You
know
the
words
from
both
of
you
guys
very
heartfelt,
very
meaningful
and
my
brother,
it's
not
too
late
for
you
as
long
as
you've
got
angels
out
there
that
are
willing
to
help.
There
will
always
be
help
before
I
bring
a
genie
and
up.
Let
me
say
this
also,
when
we're
in
school,
we
all
heard
about
the
American
Dream
that
I
deal
that
says
every
citizen
should
have
the
opportunity
to
achieve
success
and
prosperity
through
hard
work
and
determination.
A
Somehow,
along
the
way,
some
of
our
paths.
We
took
the
wrong
off-ramp
and
it's
led
us
to
places
like
houses
of
Corrections
and
other
places
where
we
may
not
have
wanted
to
be.
That
said,
it
is
unfortunate
that
people
are
incarcerated
and
get
the
services
that
they
need.
That
makes
them
hold
again,
but
the
larger
overriding
issue
is
particularly
with
the
folks
that
are
sitting
at
this
table.
They
all
care,
they
all
will
roll
up
their
sleeves
and
they
will
all
try
to
help
people
realized
the
American
dream.
E
Hi
I'm
Ginny
ability.
So
thanks
for
for
listen
to
me
talk
so
this
happens
to
me
often
where
I
have
to
follow
mr.
Vicente,
because
and
I'll
talk
more
about
that,
but
he
says
things
so
eloquently
both
Michael
and
Celestino,
or
Pio
leaders
on
the
unit
and
I'd
like
to
talk
about
that
because
I'm
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
a
snapshot
about
what
we
try
and
get
done
in
a
day.
E
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
80s
Steinberg
because
for
David
and
I
she's
really
been
our
mentor
and
we're
appreciative
for
all
her
support
and
all
the
support
that
we
get
on
the
day
to
day
from
the
offices
and
classifications
and
records.
And
that's
been
amazing.
We
understand
the
delicate
nature
of
treatment
in
Corrections
and
without
that
support.
Obviously,
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
that
so
I,
I,
myself
and
David
Asher
had
the
privilege
of
working
with
dr.
E
E
So
again
it's
a
privilege
to
be
able
to
facilitate
and
Institute
the
treatment
that
that
we've
given
so
on
a
regular
day.
We
fill
the
day
with
groups
groups
in
the
morning
groups
in
the
afternoon
the
clinical
groups,
their
recovery
based
groups.
What
we
do
is
evidence-based
practice.
So
another
reason
why
we
believe
in
that
we
really
try
and
spend
a
lot
of
time
one-on-one
with
our
participants
on
the
unit,
because
we
know
that's
highly
effective
one
of
the
biggest
things
and
I
know.
E
I
mentioned
it
slightly,
but
just
to
elaborate
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
gets
done
on
the
unit
is
the
Pieta
program.
So
at
any
given
time
we
have
four
or
five
P
leaders
on
the
unit.
Dr.
Valle
has
been
the
one
to.
You
know
teach
me
how
to
implement
that
here
in
Corrections,
and
what
we
see
is
the
power
of
that
the
P
leaders
really
Drive
the
unit.
They
drive
the
motivation
for
change
on
the
unit.
You
know
it
saddens
me
to
hear
you
know
mr.
duty
and
mr.
Vicente
talk
about
you
know
they.
E
They
might
not
have
a
chance
to
take
what
they've
learned
on
the
unit
and
what
they
know
and
bring
that
back
to
their
families
and
their
loved
ones
and
their
communities,
but
I
watch
them
every
day
positively
affect
the
other.
The
other
males
on
the
unit
and
I
know
for
I.
Think
I
can
speak
for
David
for
David
and
I
on
any
given
day
that
really
fuels
us.
You
know
when
we
see
that
type
of
change.
E
Basically,
a
huge
amount
of
our
time
is
spent
talking
and
communicating
with
people
in
the
community
and
an
effort
to
pull
together
the
reentry
plans
so
outside
of
our
individual
therapies
and
group
therapies,
we're
creating
the
reentry
plans,
not
in
a
hypothetical
fashion,
but
as
concrete
as
possible,
so
that
when
our
detainees
go
to
court,
what
we
present
to
the
court
along
with
the
detainees
is
a
really
great
plan.
We
really
spend
a
lot
of
time
assessing
them
in
terms
of
their
needs.
E
What's
worked
before
what
hasn't
worked
before
and
really
tailoring
that
in
a
most
individualistic
way,
so
that
we
really
take
the
opportunity
to
get
it
right.
So
I
think
what
we've
seen
in
the
feedback
that
we've
gotten
from
the
courts
and
the
judges
is
that
that
feels
a
little
bit
different
in
terms
of
how
people
are
motivated
for
it
and
that
it's
really
the
right
the
right
treatment
in
the
right
level
of
care.
So
that's
a
huge
bulk
of
how
we
spend
our
day.
So
thank
you
again
and
it's
just
an
honor
to
be
here.
E
A
A
We've
just
got
three
more
speakers
coming
up,
and
these
three
individuals
have
been
incredibly
helpful
to
this
initiative
and
incredibly
helpful
to
this
department
in
trying
to
help
people
improve
their
station
in
life,
and
the
first
one
I
want
to
bring
up
is
justice
Carrie,
who
is
awesome?
I
love,
her
madly,
sorry
judge,
Ronquillo,
I
love.
You
too
brother.
F
F
We
love
here,
we
love
your
energy
Sheriff,
it's
great
and
I
think
it's
a
product
of
why
we
have
this
unit
here.
Honestly,
I
think
your
great
leadership
skills
have
really
brought
it
to
the
city
of
Boston,
which
is
fabulous
and
I
also
want
to
congratulate
Michael
and
Celestino.
You
may
not
realize
it,
but
you
two
are
heroes
as
well.
You
really
are.
F
You
are
setting
an
example
for
all
of
those
individuals
who
you
work
with
each
and
every
day,
as
as
peer
leaders,
I,
don't
sounds
like
I'm,
not
sure
you
quite
recognize
how
important
that
is,
and
that
I
think
all
of
the
people
here
illustrate
that
you
will
succeed
and
you've
got
a
whole
lot
of
people
here
to
pick
you
up
when
you
stumble
so
hang
in
there
it'll
work.
So
congratulations.
F
So
addiction
is
really
a
terrible
disease.
It's
complex,
it's
often
resistant
to
treatment.
It
compels
individuals
to
make
choices
and
undertake
actions
that
they
might
not
otherwise
do,
and
they
correspondingly
end
up
in
our
courts
and
end
up
in
our
prisons.
Emergency
room,
detox,
centers
treatment,
programs
and
God
forbid,
sometimes
in
the
coroner's
office
and
the
disease
can
be
deadly
and
it
really
has
taken
hold
in
the
Commonwealth
and
frankly
in
our
country
and
now
with
heroin
and
fentanyl,
and
the
many
synthetic
variations
that
we
have.
It's
really
hard
to
keep
up
with.
F
Just
drugs
that
are
out
there,
so
I
don't
have
to
tell
anyone
in
this
room
there
we're
losing
five
to
six
people
a
day
every
day
are
dying
of
opiate
abuse
or
opiate
overdose,
and
those
of
you
who
have
heard
me
speak
about
the
opioid
crisis.
I
always
say
it's
in
the
community:
we're
not
going
to
solve
this
any
other
place,
but
in
the
community
and
that's
what
this
is
all
about.
This
is
about
solving
it
in
the
community.
It
make
no
mistake.
This
truly
is
a
public
health
crisis.
F
We
need
to
eliminate
the
gaps
and
thread
the
loops
so
that
each
person
who
enters
the
the
oasis
unit
leaves
with
a
better
foundation
and
a
better
connection
to
the
community
resources
that
they
need
to
be
successful
and
the
resources
that
are
going
to
pick
them
up
when
they
fall
in
the
supports
necessary
for
them
to
become
father's
community
leaders
and
others.
Innovative
innovative
approaches
like
Oasis
really
brings
brings
us
to
the
edge
it
really
is
going
to
make
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
the
individuals.
F
A
great
credit
goes
to
shape
Sheriff
Thompkins
for
seizing
on
this
and
for
his
staff
and
really
working
together
to
make
this
work,
creating
innovations
behind
the
wall,
but
also
that
are
going
to
connect
people
outside
the
law,
because
that's
the
key
is
making
that
connection.
If
we
just
provide
the
resources
here
and
don't
provide
the
resources
outside,
then
we're
going
to
lose
people,
so
our
success
really
depends
on
a
collective
effort.
Failure
can't
be
an
option,
so
many
people
cycle
through
our
system.
We
can't
consider
that
a
failure.
F
What
we
need
to
do
is
provide
them
with
the
support
so
that
they
can
be
successful.
Help
them
understand
the
heart
that
it's
hard
work.
It's
easy,
it's
easy
to
say
I'm
just
going
to
do
my
time,
but
it's
hard
to
be
able
to
dig
deep
within
yourself
and
say:
I
want
to
make
a
difference.
I'm
gonna
be
a
better
father
for
my
kids,
I'm
gonna,
be
a
better
person
for
my
family
and
I
want
to
make
a
difference
in
the
world.
F
So,
but
when
you
see
someone
transform
themselves,
there's
nothing
better,
there's
nothing
greater
than
to
actually
see
someone
step
forward,
step
up,
acknowledge
that
they
have
an
addiction
and
be
able
to
move
help
them
move
forward.
But
it's
it's
not
about
us,
helping
them
it's
about
them,
having
the
strength
within
themselves
to
be
able
to
do
it
and
for
us
to
provide
the
resources.
So,
as
I
said
before,
failure
can't
be
an
option.
We
have
to
succeed
in
this
and
we
have
to
provide
the
supports
for
these.
A
As
Judge
Kerry
mentioned,
really,
one
of
the
keys
to
success
here
is
what
happens
when
men
and
women
are
cycling
out
of
facilities
like
this
and
really
do
need
to
match
up
with
the
social
service
agencies
beyond
these
walls.
That
can
continue
that
care.
The
next
individual
I
like
to
bring
up
to
the
mic
is
our
district
attorney.
Dan
is
a
guy
who
just
has
walked
these
streets
for
years.
He
understands.
A
What's
going
on
out
there,
he
gets
it
and
when
we
reached
out
to
Dan
and
his
colleagues
and
when
we
reached
out
to
the
judges
about
how
we
could
put
this
together
needing
their
cooperation,
they
were
in
from
day
one
and
one
of
the
one
of
the
people
that
I
really
like
to
acknowledge
for
getting
a
lot
of
this
done
is
our
superintendent
and
Chief
Michael
Harris
over
there.
Please
give
my
hand.
A
G
Well,
justice
Kari:
the
sheriff
loves
you
and
I'm
in
a
bromance
with
him
just
so
you
all
just
want
to
put
that
on
the
record
to
two
and
a
half
years
ago
we
were
in
Israel
together
and
I
got
really
really
sick.
That
no
idea
what
was
going
on
I,
almost
went
to
the
hospital
in
Israel
turns
out
was
a
very
badly
diseased
gall
bladder.
This
guy
took
care
of
me
for
eight
days,
so
I'm
truly
indebted
with
him
he's
a
great
guy,
as
the
Chief
Justice
says.
Let's
give
it
up.
G
So
it's
a
like
the
previous
speakers,
it's
my
pleasure
to
be
here
today
and
like
to
acknowledge
superintendent
Harris
as
well.
He
visited
my
office
on
multiple
occasions
to
discuss
this
and
many
other
initiatives
that
the
sheriff,
forward-thinking,
progressive
initiatives,
I
won't
spill
the
beans,
but
I
think
we
might
be
here
one
or
two
more
times
with
other
really
good,
forward-thinking,
progressive
ideas
and
corrections,
and
that's
really
what
it's
all
about.
I
mean.
We
know
that
Massachusetts
does
not
incarcerate
at
a
high
level,
I
believe
we're
49th
in
the
nation
when
it
comes
to
that.
G
Boston
and
Massachusetts
has
been
especially
hard
hit
by
the
opioid
crisis
and
overdose
deaths
in
overdose
deaths,
but
for
years
easy
access
to
effective
treatment
has
been
very,
very
difficult
and
and
out
of
reach
for
most
people
who
need
it
most.
So
as
a
result,
the
law-enforcement
community,
the
corrections
personnel
they
have
become
the
de-facto
providers
of
these
sorts
of
services
for
people
who
are
living
with
lives
who
are
spinning
out
of
control
and
I.
G
Think
Michael
and
Celestino
touched
on
those
themes
when
they
spoke
by
the
way
I
got
a
chance
to
spend
a
couple
of
minutes
with
both
of
them.
These
guys
are
just
really
good
guys.
You
can
tell
they
have
good
hearts
and
they're
good
men
and
let's
hope
that
they
are
very
successful
after
they
finish
this
program.
How
about
a
facility.
G
You
know,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
relatively
low
in
terms
of
the
national
statistics
on
incarceration
and
and
that's
true
about
drug
incarceration.
But
the
sheriff
has
said
this
many
many
times
most
of
the
people
who
are
here
whether
it's
for
carrying
a
firearm
or
for
breaking
into
somebody's
house
or
stealing
a
car
or
you
know
robbing
someone
or
whatever
the
case
might
be.
If
you
drill
down
what
you're
gonna
find
is
a
lot
of
these
guys
are
doing
it
because
they
need
money
or
they
want
money
to
feed
this
terrible
addiction
that
they're
fighting
against.
G
So
these
kinds
of
programs
to
help
kids
to
help
young
men,
particularly
men
of
any
age
recover,
is
a
huge
thing.
We're
trying
to
do
it
in
Dorchester,
with
a
pilot
program
with
John,
McGann
and
his
program.
What
we
do
over
in
Dorchester
is
try
to
get
people
and
not
arrest
them,
give
them
a
summons
to
appear
in
court
if
the,
if
it's
a
possessory
drug
offense
and
they
appear
to
be
addicted
to
substances
and
try
to
get
them
into
John's
program
at
the
Gavin
house.
G
So
if
they
take
that
opportunity,
then
we
let
them
do
that
without
an
account
without
even
arraigning
them.
That's
the
hope.
So
trying
to
you
know
get
that
off
the
ground.
It's
been
a
slow
process,
but
nevertheless
it's
a
it's
another
step
in
the
right
direction
of
what
we're
trying
to
do.
Drug
courts,
I
think
justice,
justice
Kerry
has
mentioned
them.
G
You
know
when
I
became
District
Attorney
16
years
ago,
drug
courts
in
Suffolk,
County
anyways
we're
on
life
support
I
mean
they
were
really
about
to
die
on
the
vine,
but
I
decided
to
Double
Down
and
with
the
help
of
chief
justice,
Johnson
who's
now
retired,
and
my
good
friend
Chief
Justice
Roberto
Ronquillo
they've
doubled
down
as
well.
So
we
have
four
active
courts
in
Suffolk
County
that
are
doing
really
great
things.
G
G
A
As
we
wrap
this
up
and
we'll
bring
up
the
the
cleanup
hitter,
let
me
say
this
about
mayor
Walsh,
two
things
really
quickly,
one.
When
mayor
Walsh
was
running
the
first
time
to
become
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Boston,
I
had
a
meeting
with
him
and
we
talked
about
the
needs
of
this
department
and
what
he
said
to
me,
and
it
was
such
a
clarion
call.
He
said,
and
he
had
one
yet.
A
He
said
when
I'm
the
mayor,
when
I
become
the
man,
you
will
get
the
assistance
from
City
Hall
that
you
need,
and
he
was
not
saying
this
in
a
branded
no
sheis
way.
He
was
not
trying
to
show
off.
He
was
just
very
confident
in
the
fact
of
two
things,
one
that
he
was
gonna
win
and
two
that
he
was
going
to
help
us
and
I
think
it
was
within
the
first
couple
of
months
after
you
won
after
became
mayor.
A
He
came
to
the
department,
he
toured
the
department
and
he
went
and
he
said
to
me
he
says:
I
have
to
go
to
the
detox
unit.
I
have
to
see
the
folk
in
the
detox
unit
and
we
took
him
over
to
see
those
20
or
25
guys,
and
it
was
like
you
would
have
thought
the
the
pulp
walked
in
the
room.
I'm
not
trying
to
be
overly
dramatic.
A
My
point
here
is
someone
who
understands
addiction
and
understands
that
long
road
back
was
able
to
talk
to
these
guys
and
get
them
to
understand
that
he
knows
their
path.
He's
walked
in
those
shoes
and
what
he
said
to
them
was
he
says
if
you
take
care
of
your
business,
it
was
funny
he
says.
If
you
take
care
of
your
business,
you
can
definitely
do
a
lot
of
good
things
for
yourself,
then
he
says,
but
you
won't
be
mayor,
but
you
can
do
a
lot
of
good
things
for
himself.
Please
welcome
our
mayor.
H
Thank
You
sheriff
it
and
I'm
gonna
talk
about
the
sheriff
in
a
minute,
but
I
want
to
thank
the
sheriff
and
the
entire
staff
here
for
anything
you
do
from
from
the
gods
the
administration
to
to
the
people,
cleaning
the
barrels,
all
the
people
here
serving
the
food.
Thank
you
for
you
do
on
a
daily
basis.
People
don't
understand
your
job.
I,
don't
think
completely.
H
All
I
know
is
that
when
there's
a
sentence
given
in
court
and
the
court
officers
take
the
person
out
and
they
get
escorted
here
to
the
house
correction
or
the
nationalist
Street,
we
don't
think
about
anymore,
and
and
that's
that's
been
happening
too
long
in
our
societies.
We
don't
think
about
it.
Anymore,
I
mean
we
don't
think
about
the
young
people,
the
men
and
women
that
have
being
brought
in
by
sentenced
by
the
court.
You
know
and
I
think
that
that's
changed
here
and
I
want
to
thank
I'm.
H
A
truck
is
like
said,
I'm
indigo
I'm,
going
to
talk
a
little
more
about
that
in
a
few
minutes.
It's
a
superintendent
Smith.
You
know
thank
you
for
this
and
I'm
going
to
be
here
when
you
open,
Oasis
to
and
I
agree
with
you
on
that
and
where
it
will
work
with
the
sheriff
on
it.
But
it
is
important.
It's
important
that
we
continue
to
do
it
and
I
know
you're
doing
great
stuff
to
Janine.
Thank
you
and
everyone
adhere
figure
out
great
work.
Chief
justice
Carrie.
H
She
believes
in
what
she
set
up
here
today.
Chief
Justice
Ron
keel
believes
in
what
they
talk
about.
We
have
people
in
positions
of
power
that
actually
care
about
the
human
elements
of
what
happens
in
the
courts,
and
that
makes
a
big
difference.
I
want
to
thank
them
for
their
great
work.
District
attorney,
Conley,
you
know,
Dan
doesn't
get
enough
credit
for
some
of
the
programs
he's
done
as
well.
H
You
know
getting
up
here
in
front
of
people,
it's
hard
to
do
and
tell
you
a
story,
and-
and
you
told
your
story
today
and
you
know
one
thing
about
recovery-
that
I
think
it's
amazing
is
recoveries
about
giving
it
away.
So
it's
never
too
late,
but
it's
about
giving
only
sharing
your
experiences
and
and
I
think
that
sells.
You
know
when
you
mentioned
that
up
here.
H
You
said
it
twice:
I
thought
to
myself:
you
know,
someday
you'll,
be
at
a
podium,
Alcoholics
Anonymous
and
your
bed,
a
meeting
and
you'll
be
talking
to
be
a
young
guy
or
a
young
woman
in
the
crowd
and
they'll,
be
hearing
your
path,
just
your
path
and
how
it
brought
you
here
and
brought
you
back
on
the
street
and-
and
you
can
save
many
kids,
the
the
sadness
of
their
mothers
and
fathers.
Hearing
your
story
and
not
repeating
the
same
things
you
did
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
for
that
as
well.
H
To
the
people
in
recovery
here,
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
all
your
work
and
the
people
that
are
here
today.
Thank
you
for
work
to
the
city,
councilors
Frank
and
Anissa
in
Maurice,
in
Florida
when
Murray,
so
we
would
state
us
together
and
Frank
cousins.
You
know
the
here
because
not
because
the
press
is
here
they're
here,
because
they
fight
this
fight
every
single
day,
that's
why
they
hit
today
and
I
and
wherever
we
go
they're,
always
selling
to
commend
them
for
it.
H
I
wanna
I'm,
proud
that
we're
opening
the
oysters
unit
today,
what
we're
seeing
here
in
Boston
and
what
we're
seeing
right
here
with
sheriff,
Tompkins
and
right
here
inside
this
stuff.
The
County
House
of
Corrections
is
an
example
of
national
leadership
and
criminal
justice
reform
national
leadership
on
the
opioid
crisis.
It's
easy
to
talk
about
solutions
and
I've,
been
in
plenty
of
rooms
in
my
21
years,
is
elected.
Official
we've
sat
in
the
room
me
and
Murray
used
to
sit
at
the
State.
House
will
be
talking
with
into
this.
Do
that
to
this?
H
Is
this
it's
not
about
talking
it's
about
action,
it's
hot!
It's
hotter
to
meet
people
in
the
rough
spots
where
they
need
to
help
the
most
and
stick
with
them,
and
that's
well.
That's
what's
happening
here
in
this
in
this
facility
and
that's
what's
happening
that
will
see.
Tompkins
is
leading
relationships,
provides
relationships
with
providers.
You
see
it
here.
You
heard
about
about
John
McCain,
the
Gavin
foundation
and
Brendan
little
our
office
of
recovery
services
in
the
city.
It's
about
relationships,
and
how
do
we
call?
H
H
The
last
thing
a
DA
wants
to
do
is
prosecute
somebody.
The
last
thing
a
judge
wants
to
do
is
send
somebody
away,
particularly
when
they
have
families
and
it's
and
then
they
just.
They
know
that
it's
it's
just
the
alcohol
and
the
drugs.
That's
because
it's
causing
the
problem
and
collaborations
are
so
important
and
that's
what's
happening
today.
That's
what's
key
to
this
solution
and
that's
where
we
save
lives.
H
As
the
sheriff
talked
about
one
of
the
first
places
I
visited
when
I
became
the
mayor,
2014
was
here
and
I
tore
the
re-entry
Center.
It's
all
my
story.
My
story
didn't
take
me
to
house
Corrections,
but
my
story:
could've
I,
could
have
very
easily
made
a
mistake
and
I
did
make
mistakes
and
I
could
have
very
easily
potentially
ended
up
here,
but
I
was
fortunate.
There
was
somebody
more
God
was
looking
over.
H
If
you
put
your
mind
to
it
and
you
stay
sober
a
day
at
a
time
and
Buddy
year
later,
I
was
out
doing
the
homeless,
census,
walk
and
I
comes
up
to
me
and
he
goes
hey
I,
remember
you,
and
so
we
started
talking
because
you
came
to
self.
A
I
was
in
the
room.
I
was
talking
and
we
started
talking
about
addiction
and
I
said
to
him.
What
are
you
doing?
H
He
says
well
I'm,
on
the
street,
trying
to
make
it
work.
I
go
to
a
program
like
you
can't
like
standing
on
the
street.
Could
you
hang
on
she
get
back
in
the
end
and
what
we
did
was
when
I
came
here.
We
didn't
we
came
back.
Was
we
created
the
office
of
recovery
services
in
the
city
of
Boston?
It's
the
first
in
the
history
of
the
country
of
a
man's
office,
putting
on
recovery
services
I'm
not
to
wanted
to
take
jobs
away
from
the
state
and
other
people.
H
H
We
are
at
the
pet
shop
we
get
so!
But
it's
like
it's
not
like.
We
wait.
That's
always
I'm
sober
I
love,
you
sometimes,
but
again,
the
first
in
the
country
we're
working
in
the
city
with
harm
reduction
teams,
training
inmates
on
over
those
Prevention's
we're
running
classes
in
Spanish
and
English
to
teach
inmates
how
to
help
their
peers,
but
we're
also
taking
this
work
to
the
streets.
This
can't
just
be
here.
It
gotta
be
out
in
the
streets
as
well.
Working
then
I
want
to
give
a
special
shout-out
to
Berto
Sanchez
from
the
office.
H
The
city's
recovery
service
team
Berto
helps
run.
The
re-entry
port
panel
runs
the
prevention
training
and
is
amazing
role.
Model
for
mates.
The
sheriff's
new
Oasis
unit
will
go
even
further
to
help
support
the
teen
East,
we're
struggling
with
substance,
abuse,
substance,
use
disorder.
It
brings
comprehensive
treatment
directly
into
the
facility,
something
that's
needed.
H
So
people
did
that,
but
having
a
comprehensive
program
that
actually
dives
into
addiction
is
a
whole
different
situation.
It
really
is
it's
a
game.
Changer
it
changes
people's
behaviors
and
helps
people
on
bad
paths,
get
into
good
paths.
It
forces
people
new
paths
into
the
re-entry
program
we
hit
today
because
of
this
man
right
here,
C
Tompkins,
just
leaned
over
me
when
the
Chief
Justice
was
speaking,
he
said
to
me:
I
love
this
stuff
and
what
he
means
by
it.
He
loves
helping
people
now
sure.
H
H
How
do
you
dig
deeper
to
that?
Allowing
the
people
that
work
here,
the
clinicians
that
work
here
and
then
the
social
workers
that
work
here
to
actually
do
their
job
and
not
just
do
your
job,
because
you
have
to
have
it
in
the
sheriff's
department,
but
actually
do
your
job
to
make
the
actual
difference.
H
He
deserves
tremendous
recognition
for
the
thoughtful
care
he
puts
into
the
individuals
in
this
facility
and
when
Steve
Tompkins
leaves
here.
He
talks
about
the
stuff
out
on
the
street.
This
isn't
just
today
when
you
have
a
captive
audience
literally
account
through
your
cat,
we're
all
captive
today
and
the
captive
audience.
He
cares
about
when
these
young
people
and
people
are
released
and
how
they're
gonna
move
fall.
So
addiction
in
recovery
is
a
day
at
a
time.
H
H
A
As
we
close
out
as
Superintendent
Smith
mentioned
folks
that
want
to
tour
the
facility
or
tour
the
unit
will
do
that
and
just
let
her
know
that
any
of
our
folks
know
as
the
mayor
just
referenced.
This
is
this
is
this
is
a
calling
we
have
far
too
many
of
our
citizens
that
have
been
compromised
by
drugs
that
have
been
compromised
by
poverty,
and
we,
this
captive
audiences.
The
mayor
just
mentioned,
have
the
opportunity
to
do
something
about
that.
A
So
as
we
embark
on
this
28-day
64
bed
unit
and
thank
you
for
telling
me
about
oasis
Yolanda,
we'll
talk
about
that
later,
okay,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
for
coming
today
for
listening
to
us,
but
the
real
test
will
be
when
you
roll
up
your
sleeves
and
help
folk
help
themselves.
Thank
you.
So
much.
