Coles-Cumberland County Drug Court Participants Karrie Barnes, Kaylie Hensley, & Sierra Byrd completed their Drug Court project called “Books at the Bottom.”

They collected recovery literature over the last few months to be split between Coles County Jail & Cumberland County Jail. They were able to collect 400 books!!

What a wonderful idea for a project, an amazing way to help others in one of their most vulnerable times and an awesome way to help plant the seed of recovery.

Thank you ladies for your contribution to our community!

‼️Friendly reminder: Drug Court graduation is tomorrow!
If you have not had the opportunity to attend a Drug Court Graduation, you absolutely must and be sure to bring tissues. 🥲
More information below. 👇

"We are proud to announce that Perry Graham will be graduating from Drug Court on May 21st at 1:30 PM at the Coles County Courthouse, Courtroom 1. Drug Court is more than a program—it’s a path to accountability, support, and long-term recovery. It brings together the court, treatment providers, and the community to help individuals rebuild their lives while staying committed to change. Drug court graduation represents more than just completing requirements—it reflects growth, resilience, and real, lasting progress.

In the picture below, is Perry Graham, celebrating 3 years in recovery. He stays actively involved in the recovery community and shows true perseverance—overcoming obstacles and proving that not only is recovery possible, but it can also be meaningful and even fun.

These milestones reflect the power of change, the strength it takes to keep going, and the progress that’s possible one step at a time.
We hope you’ll join us in recognizing his hard work and dedication!

If you have any questions, reach out to Drug Court Recovery Navigator, Whitley Grayson @ 217-254-2993. "
