Holistic treatment of people in the criminal justice system is not new in Indian Country, but there are new programs coming on board as well as expanded approaches

Inside a jail cell at Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico, Albertyn Pino’s only plan was to finish the six-month sentence for public intoxication, along with other charges, and to return to her abusive boyfriend.
“It helped me start learning more about myself, about what made me tick, because I didn't know who I was,” said Pino, who is now a case manager and certified peer support worker. “I didn't know what to do.” “The thought and the concept will be different from tribe to tribe,” said Pacheco. “But ultimately, we all want our tribal people ... to not hurt, not suffer.”
“There’s a lot of shame and guilt when you’re arrested," said Mary Rodriguez, staff attorney for the court judges association. “You don’t reach out to those resources, you feel that you aren’t entitled to those resources, that those are for somebody who isn’t in trouble with the law.” Advocates of tribal healing to wellness initiatives see the approaches as a way to shift the narrative of someone's life and address the underlying causes of criminal activity.
“You have the narratives, the stories, the qualitative data showing that healing to wellness court, the holistic defense practices are more in line with a lot of traditional tribal community practices,” Farmer said."And when your justice systems align with your traditional values or the values you have in your community, the more likely you’re going to see better results.”Between 2020 and 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice distributed more than a dozen awards that totaled about $9.
