Today we honor Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equality.
Observed each year on June 19, Juneteenth serves as a reminder of our nation’s history and the importance of continuing to build stronger, more inclusive communities for future generations.
As we reflect on this significant day, we recognize the contributions, achievements, and enduring legacy of Black Americans whose impact continues to shape our communities and our country.

Yesterday, the Board of Commissioners hosted a panel discussion on addiction and recovery. The event brought together advocates, healthcare professionals, community leaders, and individuals with lived experience to explore the impact of stigma, share resources, and provide practical tools for creating recovery-ready communities.

“The stigma surrounding addiction remains one of the major barriers to treatment and recovery, and keeps individuals and families from seeking help,” said Commissioner Cooley Fleisher, liaison to the Camden County Department of Health and Human Services. “Through events like this, that connect community members to the resources and support they need to continue the important work of addiction recovery, we move one step closer to a stigma free, recovery ready Camden County.”

Attendees received an anti-stigma toolkit, learned about local programs and resources, and gained actionable strategies to start important conversations and drive positive change.

Since 2018, the Camden County Correctional Facility has embarked on several innovative approaches to supporting reentry and reducing recidivism throughout the county. These efforts include addressing root causes of incarceration like untreated substance use disorder, providing peer support specialists, and an overall holistic approach designed to successfully transition individuals out of the facility and back into society. An independent evaluation by the Camden Coalition has found that program participation was associated with reductions in reincarceration and emergency department visits in the months following release from incarceration.

This evaluation was conducted at a time when the Camden County Correctional Facility has reduced the incarcerated population by almost 60% in the last 15 years. Previously, the facility’s population was more than double what it is today.

This study, takes an innovative mixed model approach, bringing together data from diverse sources including state overdose surveillance data, integrated jail administrative data, the Camden Coalition Health Information Exchange, program case management records, and Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) program data, encompassing incarcerations that occurred from October 2022 through September 2024. During this time, 9,715 individuals were booked into the Camden County Correctional Facility, and 382 enrolled in the Peer Support and Reentry Program, many of whom were also concurrently participating in the MOUD program.

The evaluation found that program participants had significantly lower rates of reincarceration after release, which continued to decline in the following year. While emergency department use increased shortly after release – a pattern commonly seen during the transition back to community – ED utilization steadily declined over the next 12 months.
