Says Heredia, a onetime Aspen dishwasher who now works as a court interpreter: "It's a shock to come from the worst poverty into the richest country with no guidance." His two-year-old How to Live in America program is a formal part of the courts' sentencing process in nine Colorado counties. "I'm not seeing repeaters anymore," says Judge Terri Diem of Eagle County, where DUI cases have dropped 40% among Hispanics since...
