Jailhouse Redemption: Meet Sheriff Karl Leonard
Sheriff Leonard has seen firsthand the drug epidemic that is sweeping the United States. He freely confesses that his comprehension of the public health crisis was inadequate before he was elected county sheriff.
He recognized that his jail had been overburdened with persons suffering from heroin addiction in recent years and that something needed to be done to change that. And it needed to be changed as soon as possible.

When the sheriff recognized that arresting their way out of this problem was no longer an option, he decided to do something that almost everyone thought was insane. He chose to go against the odds. And he began to focus on topics concerning healing.
He didn’t start his business waiting for government approval or money from his county or state. Because his community was in danger and an instant response was required, he moved ahead and took action.
