Drug, Alcohol Reform in Prison Gets Focus
The inaugural and possibly annual Choosing Integrity Dinner was hosted on Sunday, April 27th, in the upstairs Lounge of the Historic Dimmick Inn. A wide range of guests, from commissioners and councilors to the formerly incarcerated, enjoyed Chef Peter Daniel’s impressive culinary skills as several individuals spoke about their experiences in the court system. They discussed the impact that the nonprofit has had on their lives.
First established in 2014 by Hampton Morgan, Choosing Integrity has helped countless residents of Pike County struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. For the past eight years, the Commissioners’ office has supported them by allowing the organization to use its offices on High Street in Milford, PA. Commissioner Matt Osterberg stated that the program is “a much-needed service to get people back into their lives and become a productive part of society.” The Commissioners’ office hopes to see people return to society instead of returning to the correctional facility. “Everyone has been touched by addiction, whether it is personal, family member, or friend, and we should have sympathy and support for those working through their recovery.”
