Drug Addiction & Prison Sentences?
Question by Free Thinker: Drug addiction & prison sentences?
There is a young man that I know who has been addicted to crack cocaine for a long time. He went to prison nearly 4 years ago, was just released to a work release program then with the intense pressure put on him to obtain employment under very stringent regulations and in a very depressed economy along with the fact that his mother is dying a very horrible death, he requested to be sent back to his previous facility to serve the remainder of his sentence. That request was rejected, 2 days later he obtained crack and got high out of desperation. He was caught and sent back to prison. Now the dept of corrections wants to charge him with up to 15 years for possession on a correctional facility.
He is in solitary confinement for 150 days which in my opinion is cruel and unusual punishment.
My question is what are the legal options in this case.
PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION IF YOU ARE UNINFORMED OR A CHILD. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION!

Its all about money, they make it nearly impossible for the con to get a job, yet require they do. Its all about money because when there is another infraction, there is another prisoner in the system, and that provides more money for the corrupt justice system to budget more cops, etc. They want re-offenses, it serves their purpose well.

i lived in probably the cheapest apartment complex in vegas, nearish the methodone clinic. most of my neighbors were crackheads, and i was friends with a few just because i passed them daily to and from work. i understand a few of them are good people (some were even functional with jobs and stuff), but it became obvious to me they are doomed to be crackheads for life…too bad.
your friend committed a crime for which there is zero tolerance in america, he will rot in prison where he will maintain the highest standard of living he could have ever hoped for… sorry for your loss.
Work release is a test. He failed.
You friend violated conditions of his parole and broke another law in the process. He isn’t going to get mercy with this set of circumstances.
