'A new diversion program in Kansas is working to keep women with addictions out of jail by helping them get clean.

The Douglas County Women's Substance Use Disorder Prosecutor-Led Diversion and Treatment Program started this month, the Lawrence Journal-World reported .

The program is only for women who live in the county, have at least one prior offense on their records, have a diagnosed substance abuse disorder and agree to participate in a treatment plan for at least a year. The program is meant for women with nonviolent misdemeanor charges, but felony or violent charges will be considered based on individual cases.'

Men are adults who can held accountable for their behavior and women are children who can't be.

That's the direction we're heading.
