I write this letter today to Make sure our Commonwealth Attorney Mr. Paul Ebert’s long standing record for the troubled Juveniles in our County is 1brought to light in the wake of his bid for re-election. His foresight and support of the Prince William County Drug Court program did in fact help our son, if not Save his life during a very troubled time as a young adolescent.

Without going into a whole lot of detail, our son found himself involved with the drug culture very early in his adolescent years and consequently in trouble with the court system. Enter in the Prince William County Juvenile Drug Court Program, he was given a second chance, through this program and brought along over an 18-month period of supervision by the Juvenile Court System, counselling, drug testing, New Directions alternative school, and yes, some time spent in the Prince William County Juvenile Detention Center.
