Interview with Bubba Norman, Drug Court Graduate

Drug Court is a program for defendants on felony probation.  In Lufkin, Texas Judge Paul White started such a program sixteen years ago because he was tired of sending the same people to prison over and over just to see them reappear in his courtroom.  95% of all prison inmates who have a substance abuse problem will be right back in within two years of release UNLESS they do something to overcome that addiction.  Edward, Bubba, Norman is one of those people who was tired after nineteen years of a meth habit had destroyed his marriage and caused him to lose his family.  He was out of work and desperate when he was arrested.  He needed to change and had the guts to do it!  Here is his story, in his own words of how he got into his downward spiral and what he had to do to climb out.  His recovery journey is one of hope and inspiration.
