A program to help Chesterfield County inmates fighting addiction is earning more attention. Word about the county jail's Helping Addicts Recovery Progressively Program, or HARP, spread on TikTok and musician Jellyroll visited the jail last year to see it for himself. Sheriff Karl Leonard met with Senator Mark Warner yesterday to discuss the program's success. Leonard says the daily population in the jail is at its lowest in eight years, and it continues to come down. Warner seems impressed. He says the recovery rate is higher than almost anywhere in the country. Warner also tells CBS 6 a little bit of this spirit spread on a broader basis would make a heck of a lot better Virginia.
