How States Have Worked with the Alliance MISSISSIPPI Mississippi passed worker's compensation premium reduction, youth access and money laundering laws. Additionally, then-Attorney General Moore held follow-up law enforcement meetings resulting in concrete suggestions to improve coordination of law enforcement resources as well as solidify communication among agencies. NAMSDL also assisted Judge Starrett of Southern Mississippi in starting the state's first felony drug court. Also, NAMSDL coordinated and held a Day of Dialogue at Brinkley Middle School, located in Jackson, in a lower economic area with an all African American student body. The day event brought together community service providers with faculty and students to outline ideas for improving needed drug, alcohol and related services to students and their parents. The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence of Central Mississippi (NCADD) is now providing classes on anger management and conflict resolution to the student body. NCADD and Brinkley are planning to include parental education and drug education, prevention and intervention services.
