Our panel leader continues to be of service and carry he message to the addict that still suffers. Gwinnett County Jail we have had no communication with Tom or Danny concerning what s going on with that facility. H&I has a huge opportunity to carry the message into Newton County Jail. Larry R and myself have been communicating with Ezell Brown, the Sheriff of Newton County, concerning bringing in an H&I Meeting. We are BEGGING for support.
