Rephrase it. Give the longer sentence then knock three years off for certain accomplishments. There is no real difference but it sounds better. (Not that anything here says or implies drug use.) As to those who make great distinction between drug pushing and the violent acts often committed by drug addicts, if one leads to the other, there is also no real difference. It's a lot like murdering someone and paying someone else to do it with the slight difference being who gets paid. David for better people REGARDING:

Prison isn't the answer for every crime, especially drug crimes that send users to jail or label them felons for simply possessing drugs. The majority of these people had jobs and were doing their part before they were locked up for simply possessing a controlled substance. They lose their jobs, can't support their families and for what, some for profit prison? They are being turned into criminals in most cases, it's not the reefer madness most you seem to think It’s so easy for some of you to sit back and judge someone, casting your stones of words onto someone you know very little about, most people don’t understand the ones they live with much less read about.

For personal reasons, he was asked to leave. Then he proceeded to come back and break into our home, steal valuables, and leave in one of our cars. He never got arrested for this crime but got arrested in the county where he wrecked our car and served 4 years...he was a felon and in possession of a gun and ammunition he stole from our house. He was not out very long before he did his current crime. Believe me people when I say he got what he deserved and probably what he wanted because he knows how to live in prison but can't make it work out in the real world. Please don't feel sorry for him ... But you can definitely pray for him. This person was a relative living in our home. For personal reasons, he was asked to leave.

He's been in an and out of prison my whole life for everything under the sun. He thinks he can have anything he wants and he thinks he can hurt people along the way to get it. He had robbed Convenient stores at gun point. He robbed his own sisters house while she was out of town he's robbed my dad stole his car and gun and my step mom's jewelry. He's no good for society he belongs where he's at. I’m his blood niece this man got what he deserved. He’s been in an and out of prison my whole life for everything under the sun.

Fri, 30 Apr 2021 16:43:21 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=440069#comment-449998 Lone Cheif, What you fail to know is he has been in prison since he was in his 20's and has done many felonies. He DOES NOT know how to live in the world outside of prison. He is part of my family and I am glad to see him going away for this long. He has threatened my family for way too many years and we never got the justice we deserved. FINALLY the system is giving that to us! Go to florida department of corrections and look him up, you will see his record then and understand why he deserves to be in there! Lone Cheif,

It's a decision made by the Warden, sentencing judge, and the treatment team as to the effort and commitment to change that the participant shows. If they wash out of the program, they don't get any time off. Adding time would not be legal, in this particular case. @ Dave,

It sounded to me like he wanted to go back. Some people can't make it on the outside and want to be where they know how things work. It's sad, but I've seen repeat offenders come back to prison after being on the street for a short time. They told me that was why they were back. @ Bird,

The system hasn't worked for him. He doesn't know how to live as a free man. Seems like he does things to be sent back. I guess he got what he wanted. Hopefully he will find Jesus one day.
