If this is an emergency call 911, you can save a life.
Monday, July 11, 2016
Two dozen Lucas County jail inmates sat in a semicircle and considered a question regarding the rest of their lives: What do you want your “dash” to be?Jacob Spellis drew a tombstone on the whiteboard and looked toward the crowd. He wrote in his year of birth, 1992, and a hyphen for the undetermined future. “You want to be known as the biggest weed dealer in Toledo? The biggest heroin shooter?” he asked.
One inmate, Eric Furll, replied, “I want mine to be that after 20 years in prison, I made something of myself.” Spellis, a group facilitator at New Concepts, led a substance abuse session as part of a new jail program. The Treatment Re-entry Awareness Community began last month in a reopened area of the building.
