Youth Services partners with several other agencies to serve the homeless youth population. Of the dozens of programs YST offers, one partners with the Mental Health Association for housing needs and another partners with the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma for an entrepreneurial taco food service run by clients. Union Public Schools runs G. The goal is to help them find their way to self-sufficiency.

The intake process only applies to applicants who are currently homeless, according to Howell. After turning in an application, an admissions specialist contacts the client to come in for an evaluation. From there, the client meets with a case manager where they engage in an informal, conversational interview. Then a round of assessments on trauma, financial needs, and medical needs follow a drug test to determine the holistic status of the applicant.

After the three to five-week intake process is complete, case managers move. Half the tenants are regular paying renters, and about half are clients in the program. The full length of the program from homelessness to graduation usually takes months. Pryce said the organization prioritizes forgiveness over punishment. This year, a groundbreaking new program called A Better Way started in Tulsa that offers housing-insecure individuals an opportunity to earn a wage by beautifying the city.

While partnerships between private organizations and state agencies like the Office of Juvenile Affairs are expanding, Howell and Pryce both said state leaders need to fund more services to combat the rising issue of youth homelessness. Regardless of the stresses of the job, Howell said the support system and collaboration his coworkers offer each other help make it worthwhile. But he said nothing brings him more joy than seeing his clients reach their potential.

Episodes are released the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month. Football mascots, greasy spoon diners, hipster bars, oil pipelines, and churches are all little pieces of that culture. Ultimately, a culture is just a collection of stories. We tell deeply human stories about the Oklahomans who inhabit certain parts of our community. Then there are the stories we do not tell—those of the people our culture has conspired to keep invisible. According to a recent Bureau of Justice Statistics report, Oklahoma became the most incarcerated state in America in — with 1, of every , adults locked behind bars.

In a country representing 4. This story has been shaped as much by geography as politics. Urban, rural, and suburban communities have entirely different criminal justice systems, and zip code is often the best determinate of how long an Oklahoman goes to prison. The story of police, prisons, and people in these Oklahoma counties is a microcosm of the larger story of why so many people end up incarcerated in America.

In , she went to a predominantly African American church in Chicago and felt called by God to become a public defender. She became a public defender in Cook County in Chicago before eventually moving to Tulsa. Tulsa is fortunate, however, to be a large, relatively urban community which has seen an infusion of local investment in alternatives to jail for those experiencing mental health issues, homelessness, and substance abuse.

Many of its towns, like Haskell and Beggs, are small and rural. Prosecutors are charging more people with felonies, on average, and those individuals are often serving longer sentences. Some towns in Muskogee County, like Fort Gibson, have made slight investments in substance abuse treatment and alternatives to prison in recent years, but many places simply lack the resources to send addicts anywhere but prison.

Last July, The Pavillion—an inpatient, acute psychiatric crisis unit in Muskogee—was forced to close after its provider contract was terminated. Patients in need of behavioral health treatment were either transferred to Laureate, a relatively expensive provider in Tulsa, or sent home. Meth and cocaine have been major drivers of incarceration in southwestern Oklahoma, and the opioid crisis has exacerbated these problems.

Anytime during that 24 hours, they can decide to admit them or send them to outpatient services or a higher level of care. Crime rates often rise as municipalities lose investments in mental health services. This leads to rural towns and cities where the largest local mental health provider is often the local jail. The sheer size of Oklahoma County creates jail conditions which often seem like some type of fatalistic trap.

The jail is so busy that it takes about 48 hours before most people get arraigned, and that arraignment happens via video conference with a judge. The DA may not have formally charged you with anything in the first 48 hours. Sometimes inmates will hire someone briefly just to get themselves a continuance, so they can go work their job long enough to hire an attorney full time. How long you stay in jail is often determined by how much money you make. The set of facts governing these realities is overwhelming.

Race, poverty, and a natural concern for public safety are all factors that created this system. I strive to bring trauma-informed care to women in prison. Because a lot of women who are justice-involved have been through trauma, and that trauma is often the root cause of their incarceration. Without that root cause being dealt with, the cycle continues. We should be able to lock up violent bad guys without making our cities worse.

A breeze of tinkling piano keys swirls around me, drawing me to the lively patio at Duet, the newest restaurant in downtown that feels like New York, but is unmistakably Tulsa.

The jazz lounge plus restaurant concept is yet another brain child of the Kaiser Foundation, which handed creative reign to Tuck and Kate Curren, a couple of the coolest cats and restauranteurs in Tulsa. Vast floor-to-ceiling windows pull the buzz of the city streets into the dining room, a minimalist space where exposed cement columns and brick give way to chic design elements.

The sleek feel of the space is tempered by an easy charm the Currens impart to all of their endeavors. All great maestros need their virtuosos, and the Currens found theirs in Chef Nico Albert. She has been making her mark on restaurants in Tulsa for years, but this was her first opportunity to expand her repertoire. Dishes are parsed into Soil, Sea, Land and Sky, like an incantation—a summoning of faraway flavors. Fried chicken gets an Asian treatment, while barbecue ribs are elevated with dark cherries and sumac vinaigrette. Songs that people have been playing for generations all over the world.

But improvisation is what keeps jazz exciting, because no one plays that one standard the same. Cooking is very similar. There are standards, like tried-andtrue comfort food favorites. The gingersnaps—gluten-free and made in house—are ground into a powder-like consistency. The salmon perches upon a nest of inky black noodles with a toothsome texture, dressed in a balanced sesame scallion vinaigrette. The chilled sweet pea soup was perhaps the most versatile dish of the evening. Beautiful drinks flow from the bar, while dynamic dishes sail out of the kitchen to guests with ease.

From start to finish, no one misses a beat. The jazz lounge is located downstairs, and is set to open Oct. The Duet restaurant is open 11 a. Order your pizza by the pie or by the slice. Tulsa taco crawl, pt. We join them now—bellies pooching, jaws throbbing—as they continue their pursuit for the best tacos in T-Town. The chile de arbol salsa, a scarlet lacquer that packs a wallop, melted blissfully into the grilled shrimp taco. Several supple crustaceans swam in cream sauce beneath a bed of shredded lettuce, while the construction of it all helped keep the salsa-induced insanity at bay. The al pastor boasted kabob-ish chunks of pork that proved the most texturally satisfying of all.

Succulent and rich, the meat was just on the verge of falling apart. Also well received was the deshebrada taco. Abundantly stuffed with ribbony, shredded beef and topped with a smoky sauce, the deshebrada needed no adulterating. The fish taco featured breaded tilapia, which was moist and well prepared—but, when starches steal the show, the delicate taste of the fish gets lost in a carb cloud. Such was the case here, though stripping off one of the two tortillas helped keep the focus on the fish.

None of this, however, prevented us from cleaning our plates, as even underwhelming carnitas are still an apt vessel for guiding salsa through the gorge. Tortilleria De Puebla S. The sit-down restaurant and tortilla factory which has several booths for more casual dining are separated by a comic book store, though they presumably share a kitchen.

One thing was clear from the outset: De Puebla was in it to win it. On the table, we found a shaker. However, the pollo and tripas tacos were gold-medalists. Each individual tripa was plump not pressed or chopped and uniformly browned. Off-white tripas will be chewier. The longer the meat is grilled, the more it sweats, developing a mahogany hue and crackly sear. I left De Puebla thinking it would be difficult to find better tripas, but a challenger arose almost instantly. A taco truck idled across the street, beckoning us like a meat-filled oasis on wheels.

The universe had opened a door, and so we stepped through. Don Tacos S. While the dogs—loaded with bacon and more—were a tempting offer, we held firm. Don Tacos is owned and operated by members of the same family that runs Mexican Corner. Next up was Supermercados Morelos E. However, we had stopped for the pastry case. I have previously inflamed a toaster by cooking things other than sliced bread, so use caution!

On the road again, we passed several taco trucks that were shuttered and therefore unable to help us gullet ourselves senseless. We took refuge at La Reyna Taqueria E. We were immediately impressed by the menu size: In addition to tacos, La Reyna offers tortas hot sandwiches , burritos, quesadillas, gorditas stuffed masa cakes , and sopes masa cups with beans, meat, and cheese. Other vessels included huaraches double-wide tortillas , sincronizadas elevated quesadillas , and flautas. The texture of the suadero was fantastic.

Sliced into thin strips, it was so tender and light in color I initially doubted it was beef, thinking it chewed like pork. The flavor, however, was unmistakably bovine. The tripas at La Reyna were served without much chopping or pressing and were somewhat pale, which meant less rendering and plumper bites. The pastor taco was sweet and glistened with caramelized onions, but the pollo taco triumphed here.

Tacos El Chino S. Each bite took me further and further into a daydream where meat echoes rippled across my memories of the past 24 hours. They are sustainable by necessity, as Reeder points out, because a crop of agave takes a minimum of seven years to mature for harvest. Some mezcal batches are made from agave that takes more than twenty years to mature.

Tony Collins, a representative for Republican National Distributing Company, said terroir is one reason serious drinkers love the product. Terroir is typically associated with wine, and it refers to what local soil and climate impart to grapes in terms of flavors and character. The same grape varietal grown a few hundred yards apart can have dramatically different characteristics. According to Reeder, mezcal is the same way, because there are approximately thirty different varietals of agave.

The mezcal is rested on the beets for at least 48 hours. Depending on the level of smoke, mezcal can overwhelm a drink, but in the hands of a good bartender, nearly any classic cocktail can be made with mezcal as a substitute. The Campari is still in. The drink should pair well with the roasted beet salad, as Reeder uses the same beets for the infusing process, allowing at least 48 hours of contact to impart rich, earthy flavors to the mezcal.

The margarita is an easy choice for a variation, because, according to Reeder, any cocktail with tequila can take mezcal, and the result will just be a ramping-up of flavor and intensity. Because tequila is only made from blue agave, and because it has become a mass-production business, many products are now overly homogenous, so that most flavor variation comes from the barrel aging, not the process. Valkyrie has three mezcal cocktails on their list, including the Hypnotoad, made with Sombra mezcal, IPA syrup, lime, Cointreau and cayenne.

To really appreciate mezcal, though, it should be consumed neat. For beginners, the mezcal Vago Elote—like the corn—has minimal smoke and a touch of sweetness. Welltown Brewing W.
