Wellbriety
(Continued from page 1)
The first step for an indi-
vidual in the Wellbriety Pro-
gram is for tribal prosecution
and Parole and Probation to
review the police report.
They will review the po-
tential defendant’s criminal
history, and complete an eli-
gibility criteria and screening
form.
The second step: Prosecu-
tion will inform the tribal
court at the defendant’s ar-
raignment hearing that the in-
dividual is eligible and willing
to participate in the
Wellbriety Court Program.
The tribal judge will initiate
a court order “setting aside
guilty plea and allowing defen-
dant to enter the Wellbriety
Program.”
· The third step: The de-
fendant will take a copy of
court order and report to
Parole and Probation to sign
their Wellbriety contract.
Four phases
There are four phases for
the person who enters the
Wellbriety Program:
· Phase 1: Report to Pa-
role and Probation during the
same working day of receiv-
ing signed tribal court order.
Sign the contract, and com-
plete three probation visits
per week.
The person must report to
Community Counseling to
complete the intake process
and an alcohol and drug as-
sessment. The person will
then start the level of treat-
ment indicted by their assess-
ment.
· Phase 2: The person in
the program must complete
a minimum of 40 hours of
treatment and counseling, and
make a minimum of three
weekly contacts with Proba-
tion.
The person must complete
any missed community coun-
seling, groups and/or Parole
and Probation hours. Every
two weeks there will be a pro-
bation court review with the
judge and probation officer.
This phase is a minimum of
10 weeks.
· Phase 3: Complete a
minimum of 36 hours of
treatment, counseling and
complete a minimum of 24
My great grandmother
Jessie Arthur is one warrior
woman who I am ver y
thankful for.
She was a woman who
taught me to gather many
of our traditional foods, and
taught me to pray and be-
lieve. Ver y loving , strong
and caring is the way I re-
member her.
I have great memories of
peeling and washing roots.
We would grind roots and
mash them into small cakes
to dry outside on the screens
specifically set up for them.
We would go for drives or
set up camp and pick fresh
strawberries, peaches and
huckleber ries. We would
Upon successful
completion of the
program, criminal
charges for the
arrest that
brought the person
into the program
will be dismissed.
contacts with probation of-
ficer.
Pay a minimum towards
fees, and have a probation
review every two weeks. This
phase is a minimum of 12
weeks.
· Phase 4: The person
must complete a minimum of
28 hours of treatment and or
counseling, and complete 14
contacts with the probation
officer, followed by a proba-
tion review every two weeks.
bring them home and spend
hours canning.
There were days when I
would visit and I could run
down to the basement and
pick up a jar. We would sit
and visit with fruit and cof-
fee. We would clean and cook
fish when the men in the fam-
ily would go to the river and
fish.
Walking to Sunday ser-
vice at the 1910 Shaker
Church was fun. I always
admired her. Even as she
aged and had a hard time
she felt her calling was to get
to church in her white gar-
ment with a yellow satin
cross. Yes those were the
days…
And to me she was a won-
derful warrior woman who
taught me so much. Thanks
to all elders and to all the
grandmothers, mothers,
aunts and sisters who are
willing to teach and share
and make a big difference in
another’s life.
Pay off the remainder of
the $500 fee and pay off any
other outstanding court fines.
Have a probation review ev-
ery two weeks.
The outcome: Upon suc-
cessful completion of the
program, criminal charges for
the arrest that brought the
person into the program will
be dismissed.
In the event that the par-
ticipant does not complete the
Wellbriety Court program, the
case will be sent back to tribal
court, and a sentencing hear-
ing will be scheduled.
