Manage episode 242179780 series 2421410
Drug felony charges have more than doubled in Colorado as the state faces an opioid crisis. Jail admissions are on the rise in some counties. While diversion efforts are proving effective in others.

We visit one county that wants to use it’s jail less and one county that just built a state-of-the-art one to see how the two approaches are working out.
