Pre-arrest diversion program, Madison Addiction Recovery Initiative (MARI) is to reduce crime and improve health (i.e., reduce the overdose deaths) who committed a minor, non-violent, drug use-related offense by offering them a referral to treatment in lieu of arrest and prosecution of criminal charges.
The 4 Pillars of Collaborative Court and Community Caseflow Management
1. Strengthen community responses and minimize criminal justice system involvement;
2. Promote early intervention and effective management of court cases;
3. Institutionalize alternative pathways to treatment and recovery and improve outcomes; and
4. Manage post-adjudication events and transitions effectively.
Pima County Attorney Laura Conover, her leadership team, and PCAO staff are building community safety for all through accountability, healing, and restorative justice practices.
