The database. The Administrative Office of Courts' "State of Mississippi (44) Drug Intervention Courts (6) Mental Health Treatment Courts 10.05.2026" lists, under Adult Felony Drug Intervention Courts, the "1st Judicial Circuit", seven counties ("Pontotoc, Lee, Itawamba, Monroe, Prentiss, Alcorn & Tishomingo"), with the judges "John White" and "Kelly Mims - Veterans Court", mailing address P.O. Box 386, Booneville, MS 38829, and the coordinator's phone 662-728-4060. The same circuit also runs an adult mental health treatment court. What it means. The database does not say how the veterans court takes cases from each of the seven counties or where it sits; a Monroe County veteran facing charges asks defence counsel, the District Attorney or the coordinator. Admission is the court's decision and there is no right to participate; Mississippi's veterans treatment court statute is in the Mississippi entries.
