Answer 1

Why do you think you shouldn't have to pay for your crime? Because you've changed, but what you did happened. Ok, enough preaching.

Here's what you do. You ask for a "suspended sentence", which puts you on probation for 2 years, usually if you stay clean they take it off your record, citing your mother's health. That can happen after you've been sentenced. If you have a job and are a productive member of society you have a chance. If your employer is willing to sponsor you in this endeavor, even better, since lack of income is the motivating factor for re-entry into crime.

Answer 2

I don't have a good answer for you but I hope that you will pursue every avenue someone suggests to you. Try ministers, priests, see if a lawyer will represent you pro bono. I don't have a lot of faith in the system so I wish you luck in finding a way around this. As you have indicated, you know you did the crime, but does the punishment now fit?
Anyway, I do wish you well and give it your best shot. Keep up the good work, on yourself and others also.

When I mentioned lawyer - I meant to file an appeal type thing. Try legal aid or a college of law
for information.

Answer 3

I have a friend who is a criminal attorney, and seen him spring people whoI thought would be in prison for years. I've also seen some of his clients hit on drug charges do some serious time.

There are going to be several factors that could determine if you could receive a lighter sentance. You should consult with your public defender/attorney on these matters instead of asking complete strangers for answers.

Answer 4

I think that you may be out of luck. Prison isnt like work. There is no note your mom can right for you to get out of going.

Answer 5

There is no used to be. You did the crime now accept the punishment.

Answer 6

I cannot understand what you are asking but good luck anyway
