According to a Walworth County press release, today marks the 10 year anniversary of the Walworth County OWI Court program, which is a four-phase intervention program for adults that have pled guilty to 3rd or 4th offense OWI and are struggling with sobriety. The program has 203 graduates with a recidivism rate of 7%. Between 2020 and 2021, the program
had 18 new admissions, 14 graduates, and a 90% completion rate.
