Here is a column I wrote about -- actually, to -- Nicole Sesker, Leonard Hamm's stepdaughter, and to others with her troubles. It appeared in The Sun of August 25, 2005. More than 6,500 men and women have contacted The Sun for help with addictions treatment or post-prison employment since June 2005. (Sesker was not one of then.) Many others contacted police officers associated with Hamm's Get Out Of The Game effort, a small, smart outreach that the former commissioner pushed despite a lack of support from the arrests-obsessed O'Malley administration. Though he did not mention it when we first discussed Get Out, Hamm's experience with Sesker is thought to have influenced his decision to develop the program. Get Out is still in operation under Hamm's successor, Fred Bealefeld, but needs more support and exposure in the city.
