51ÁÔÆæ alumnus Jake Patten is an advocate of second chances \u2013 especially for veterans who struggled to adjust to civilian life and now serve jail time for nonviolent crimes. But the path to a new life doesn\u2019t come easily. First, the veteran has to plead guilty.<\/p>\n

Patten is the coordinator of the Milwaukee County Veterans Treatment Court<\/a>, a specialized court that aims to help jailed veterans by diverting them from the traditional justice system. It focuses on treatment and rehabilitation for these veterans, who are more at risk for substance abuse or mental illness.\u00a0In 2017,\u00a0nearly one in every seven suicides<\/a>\u00a0in the U.S.\u00a0was a veteran, though veterans only make up about 8% of the\u00a0country\u2019s\u00a0population.<\/p>\n

As coordinator, Patten often visits eligible veterans in jail to talk with them about the program and its benefits. For a veteran to participate, he or she must have received a discharge other than dishonorable from the U.S. Armed Forces, face only nonviolent criminal offenses in the Milwaukee County Circuit Court and accept responsibility by pleading guilty. From there, Patten and his team work alongside a judge to devise a treatment plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce we ensure that those requirements are met, then it\u2019s really up to the veteran if they want to participate or not because this program is pretty rigorous,\u201d Patten said. \u201cThere\u2019s absolute sobriety; they\u2019re tested pretty frequently. It\u2019s not easy by any means, but at the end of the day it\u2019s about getting them the treatment and the services that are provided by the VA (Veterans Affairs) so they can get past that and live their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Providing resources, incentives<\/h3>\n

The team provides resources to improve veterans\u2019 employment opportunities, housing, social situations and other factors that would cause them to re-offend. Participants can also receive awards, gift cards, bus passes or reduced court appearances in recognition of their achievements in the program.<\/p>\n

From 2018 to 2019, the court\u2019s graduation rate rose from 72% to 78%<\/a>,\u00a0which\u00a0often led to reduced charges or a complete dismissal of the\u00a0case.\u00a0While\u00a0Patten notes that\u00a0graduation rates vary by\u00a0program, the\u00a0Milwaukee County Veterans Treatment Court\u2019s\u00a0graduation rate\u00a0is on the rise compared to some states such as Missouri, whose\u00a0veterans\u00a0treatment courts saw a graduation rate of 73%\u00a0in 2017.<\/p>\n

Not only does the court see a high graduation rate but many of the graduates do not become repeat offenders after graduation.\u00a0The court\u2019s recidivism rate\u00a0in 2019\u00a0was 8%,\u00a0a fair achievement\u00a0compared to the national average\u00a0of 14%,\u00a0as\u00a0a recent study<\/a>\u00a0of veterans treatment courts found.<\/p>\n

\u201cRather than sit in jail, we get them the treatment they need,\u201d Patten said. \u201cIt keeps them from the same lives they were in before they started the program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Close to home<\/h3>\n

The program hits close to home for Patten. He served in the Army until 2011 before coming back home to Milwaukee and continuing his education. With 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s military-friendly atmosphere<\/a>, it was a natural choice for him.<\/p>\n

\u201c51ÁÔÆæ just had the right feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

He graduated from 51ÁÔÆæ in 2013 with a degree in criminal justice and a few internships under his belt. From there, he worked with case management at Wisconsin Community Services in Waukesha and later the Department of Defense, providing job services for National Guard and Army Reserve soldiers. Then, he turned his eyes to the veterans in his community.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust knowing that we were once doing the same thing overseas, it just hits you pretty hard, seeing them on that side and me on this side,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s a brotherhood there. You understand where they came from and the process that took them to where they went.\u201d<\/p>\n

A second chance for veterans<\/h3>\n

Patten isn\u2019t the only one trying to give back. Mark Flower, a mentor coordinator for the Veterans Treatment Court and a veteran from the Cold War era, sees the program as a second chance for veterans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity to help them redirect where they\u2019re going instead of having veterans keep falling backwards, which is usually what happens,\u201d Flower said. \u201cThis process allows them to make a choice, which is in my mind very important, because now at least they chose to participate. In a lot of ways, it makes it easier to participate because they decided.\u201d<\/p>\n

One judge oversees all cases. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Cynthia Davis is grateful for the opportunity to see each case through to the end.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about connection,\u201d she said. \u201cI really do get to know the veterans and we can establish a connection. And I think that connection ultimately makes them feel more cared for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rewarding for everyone<\/h3>\n

These close relationships are part of what helps veterans succeed and what makes the graduation ceremony so fulfilling, the team said. Veterans who successfully complete the program receive gift cards, praise from Davis and the team and a coin to remind them how far they\u2019ve come.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see the change they made, the progress that they\u2019ve made, so that\u2019s definitely one of my favorite parts of the job,\u201d Patten said.<\/p>\n

Flower agrees, saying that he loves to see the happy endings to the veterans\u2019 stories. His favorite part of the graduation ceremony? \u201cThe smiles.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
