D.U.I.Jeff Quinton - Backcountry Conservative: Race-based DUI Courts in Phoenix -- « | Main | » January 16, 2006 Race-based DUI Courts in Phoenix Rachel Alexander of Intellectual Conservative: Almost 38 years after Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous I Have a Dream speech, separate but equal still exists in Maricopa County, Arizona. Under the guise of multiculturalism, the Presiding Judge of the Maricopa County Superior Court, Barbara Mundell, has set up separate race-based courts for defendants convicted of aggravated DUIs. Defendants who speak Spanish are sent to their own Hispanic court, which is conducted by Judge Mundell in Spanish. Prosecutors, defense attorneys, probation officers, and members of the public must ask for headphones, if available, to have the proceedings translated into English. Very little is recorded, so it is impossible to determine afterwards with accuracy such things as the circumstances surrounding a decision to sentence a defendant to jail for violating probation. Native Americans are segregated into their own court, and are required to show up together on one designated day each month. They are required to participate in sweat lodges and talking circles, regardless of whether their tribe historically participated in such activities. Some of the Native American and Hispanic DUI defendants have objected to the separate courts. All other DUI offenders, whether white, black, or other race or nationality, are assigned to standard DUI Court. The local NAACP is outraged by this two-track system of justice. The Reverend Oscar Tillman, President of the Maricopa County NAACP, has joined Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas in calling for a halt to race-based courts. [...] Judge Mundell refuses to disband the race-based courts, claiming there are no constitutional issues involved since DUI Court covers probation, not a defendants initial trial. This is an incorrect interpretation of the law. Last year, the Supreme Court addressed the issue of separating prisoners by race in Johnson v. California. The court held that strict scrutiny applied there, as well as to the criminal justice system generally. Judge Mundell has provided no compelling reason why separate courts are necessary. Spanish-speaking DUI defendants are already provided interpreters throughout all aspects of the court system. [...] Judge Mundell has stated that she would be happy to set up separate courts in other languages for African-Americans, Asians, and other ethnic groups if there were sufficient numbers to justify each court. This is not the answer; it is silly and would cost taxpayers an unnecessary amount of money. Racial segregation did not work in the past, and it will not work today. The criminal justice system is the first place Americans should be assured of fair treatment. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke in 1968 of his dream that his children would one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. It is disturbing that Dr. Kings speech addressed the precise situation today in Maricopa County Superior Court. Judging on the basis of skin color constitutes state-sponsored discrimination and must be ended.

The Anchorage Felony DUI Court was created by the Twenty-Second Alaska State Legislature 64 SLA 01 to increase public safety by reducing repeat DUI offenses. This therapeutic court is a post-adjudication plea or pre-sentence program designed to supervise felony defendants who are substance-abusing adults (over 18 years of age) charged with non-violent offenses, and probationers and parolees placed in the program as a condition of probation or due to a violation of probation/parole. Felony drug offenders who meet the Eligibility Standards are helped to overcome their addiction, maintain sobriety and contribute to the community in a 12 - 18 month, three-phase treatment program; through intensive supervision by specifically assigned and trained adult probation officers; frequent appearances before the Judge; regular attendance at self-help groups such as AA, BA, NA or CA, and random drug and alcohol testing. This therapeutic court is a collaborative partnership between the Alaska Court System, the Department of Law, the Public Defender Agency, the Department of Corrections, the Department of Health and Social Services and a contract substance abuse treatment agency. The program is funded by the federally funded, and it is a partnership between the Alaska Court System, the Department of Law, the Public Defender Agency, the Department of Health and Social Services, the Department of Corrections and a contract treatment agency. The Anchorage Felony DUI Court has a Court Team made up of a superior court judge, a district attorney, a defense attorney, a case manager, an adult probation officer, and a treatment provider who work collaboratively to fulfill the goals of the program.
