Im on Probation and Caught Another Charge Is There Anyway I Can Get Drug Treatment Verses Prison?
Question by : Im on probation and caught another charge is there anyway i can get drug treatment verses prison?
Im on five yrs probation and a cpl w eeks ago i was in the car w my ex bf and got pulled over , the ex bf had drugs on him and they charged me w the drugs as well. Im out on bond and am gonna hire a new attorney. But im wondering if i could get drug treatment instead of prison time, cause i do realize i need help and i want help. Also i know the treatment would have to be linked w the court system and allow offenders only , like a lock down treatment. Im gonna research programs that fit that criteria and present the different rehabs to my attorney. Do u think that may work..? Thanks for your time 🙂

Will it make any difference to you even after being given a 2nd chance you choose to hang with those who you know are using or dealing drugs. If i were the judge i would not give you a 3rd chance because you will just continue down the path your on.

If your first crime was a non violent crime, I would think you have a chance on rehab. After all, the criminal justice system does not want you to be a reoffender and if drugs are the reasons you are offending, then it would be worth your while to present this alternative to the courts as a positive suggestion. I think it would work. Good luck.
It’s so sad they closed down Leo Chesney. This program helped the women who went through there. Goodbye Leo Chesney! 09/30/2011 was your? final day, maybe you will re-open….
I think this is a great program that more states should offer. What good does it do to send an addict to prison where they are going to get no treatment and not know that there is a better way of life for them? Studies have shown that addicts who get treatment in jail are less likely to reoffend, this should be nationally offered for women as well as men.? Honestly it’s simple economics and common sense.
This information is now outdated, the Leo Chesney Center now goes up to 60 months for a inmate and has increased the security level of the facility from level 1 to 2, to levels 1,2, and 3. TI-Sat also has been totally redesigned since then, and the facility can hold? up to 318 not 200.
The state of California is remiss in not creating more opportunities for low-level female offenders. These programs will eventually SAVE taxpayer money and reduce recidivism. The women’s prisons in Calfornia are Level 4 hells, and are? a horrible place for low-level offenders and their families. It also costs us so much more than these places do.
