And here's an excerpt:

We have admitted about 500 people into Drug Court on Maui since 2000. That means 500 people have received intensive treatment for drug addiction We're graduate 244 - not everybody makes it. Of those, the recidivism rate is 14 percent - we base that on convictions. That means that only 14 percent have reoffended. That's an amazing success.
