This report describes the Birmingham, Alabama, court and treatment network as it existed before the "breaking the cycle" initiative was implemented and identifies the challenges facing systemwide intervention. It also presents the specific objectives for attaining goals, describes the system changes targeted by the early planning process, and examines how the initiative's vision was translated into action during the planning phase and during the first 10 months of the demonstration project from October 1996 through July 1997. Also included are a site report for Jefferson County, Alabama, from the National Pretrial Reporting Program and summary data from the Drug Use Forecasting System.
