JCAP offering inmates skills to succeed after release %\ /($+ 6$1'(5 6WDII :ULWHU Helping others recover from addiction takes many people. That’s according to Debbie Fernandez. She and her husband Hector Fernandez serve as the coordinators for the Fulton County Jail Chemical Addiction Program. Through the program, inmates at the county jail take life skills classes as well as classes to address their chemical addictions. The first two men, Deonte Lyons and Louis Boroff, will graduate from JCAP at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14. Everyone is welcome to attend the ceremony at the jail.

Bringing JCAP to the county was one of Fulton County Sheriff Travis Heishman’s goals when he ran for sheriff last year. “I’ve known Deb and Hector for years, and they’ve been a part of recovery in Fulton County for years,” he said. “I think (JCAP) was one thing that we collectively conceded there was a need for.” He and the Fernandezes looked at Boone County’s JCAP as well as Kosciusko County’s. “We saw the success of Kosciusko County with (former Kosciusko County JCAP Coordinator) Courtney (Jenkins), and it’s just one of those things that you can grab hold of the service pro-
viders around here ... and (adjust the program for Fulton County inmates),” said Heishman. The county was able to start the program with the help of a grant from Drug Free Fulton County. County leaders also established a donation fund. The current round of JCAP started on July 10 and is set to wrap up on Oct. 10. The men going through it are living in a separate section in the jail from the rest of the jail population. Inmates’ participation was voluntary, with Fulton County Jail Commander Cathi Collins and Assistant Jail Commander Marty Ehlinger and Fulton Coun-
ty Probation’s Todd Hudkins also weighing on potential participants. Along with the Fernandezes, a number of organizations and businesses are teaching sessions on everything from finances to parenting. Those include: First Federal Savings Bank of Rochester; 4C Health; Snyder Counseling of Logansport; Artful Expressions, an art therapy program by Sherry Knight; The Cross Church; WorkOne; Faith Outreach Center; Narcotics Anonymous; Rochester Community School Corp.; Purdue Extension; Intrepid PhoeContinued on page 3
