To the Editor:
Kudos to the Labonte Recovery Center in Rumford, the Oxford County Sheriff’s Office, and the Oxford County Mental Health Services’ OPTIONS Program for their collaborative distribution of harm reduction kits that provide life-saving information and resources to released inmates.
Providing encouragement to people who have made mistakes in their lives with the opportunity to build resilience and determination to succeed is fundamental to who we are as Americans.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
