How many chances do they give you with prop 36? I did everything they wanted me to do including residential treatment, even though they lied to me and told me it was a 30 day program when in fact it was a 90 day program- they graduated me at 41 days and sent me home (ceremony and all!) and my PO told me to go back that same day! Why did they let me go home at all? I had already lost my home, had to send my daughter to live with her dad( for the "30 days" they lied to me about ) and then was expected to go right back and do it all over again! So I didn't go- the last I heard was my probation had been revoked due to FTA( failure to appear)- I don't know what to do next- and I DON'T want to go to jail! Please help!

In California The prop36 is the primary factor in keeping women out of prison. Your PO pretty much holds the cards, I also been through the system and lost it all. You will need to claim your mistakes. Talk to your PO (as much as you hate it) and see what they can work out. Call and verify your completion from your program location. ask the courts system in your area. Face your fears or it will only get worse.
This is my thoughts on what to do and wish you the best, I know how bad it sucks

If your parole was revoked, you are looking at prison time. If you were to be in a 90 day program, then that means 90 days. If the program says "Hey, we think you are ready" it doesn't matter. The judge or the DA that you made an agreement with said 90 days. As far as you saying that it was originally only supposed to be a 30 day program, then you may not have read all the fine print. My guess is that when you were signing all the paper work and appearring before the court, you were probably not straight at that time anyway, or you wouldn't be going to treatment. I am sorry that your daughter has lost her mom, but you made a poor decision that got you into this mess, and when your PO told you to go back to treatment, you obviously didn't so by failing to comply with his/her instructions, you violated the conditions of your probation and you will more than likely go to prison. I only hope that you learn from this so that you can come out the other side and be the mom your daughter needs.
My guess is that no one lied to you, your treatment requirements are laid out in black and white on the contract that you signed. It is the same song and dance that any probation violator tries to give. I don't buy it.
Sorry for the lecture, but I have seen all too well what failure to get clean can do to a child of an addict. And frankly if you can't follow directions well, then how can we expect you to abide by the laws you have already broken. Go to prison, serve your time, learn from your mistakes and do not repeat them.

No, the decide probable won't evaluate time served, by using fact it won't coach your criminal boyfriend any classes. at the start, you do understand that he has a criminal conviction, suitable? You do understand that the only suitable your BF has is to a listening to, via THE decide, suitable? That the decide purely desires to pay attention from the probation officer and that the info does not even could be previous a smart doubt, suitable? that there's no threat that your bf will end probation, despite if he's reinstated, by using fact he will VIOLATE back, RIIIIIIIGHT? tell your BF to take the one hundred eighty days or the subsequent VOP heavily isn't as lenient with one hundred eighty days. He additionally desires an legal expert ASAP. Oh yeah, if he's taking the one hundred eighty days, i'm hoping you come across a clean BF and start up up over without this loser. Its under no circumstances their coke, its continuously continuously somebody else's.

No one can guarantee what the judge will do but you can do some things to help yourself. First, turn yourself in to your P.O. If your Probation was truly revoked there's an arrest warrant in your future. Second, get your documents together to show to the judge that you were released by the program you were told to attend. Third, don't have another FTA in your future.

It's not as bad as you think. It's not as cut and dry like some believe... meaning it's not like your parole was revoked then immediately go to jail.. don't pass go... straight to jail. NO.
You will have an opportunity to plead your case to the parole board. During that hearing, it would be a good idea if your parole officer said some nice things about you and supported you; so, be sure to butter him/her up.
Also in that hearing, take that opportunity to talk about your mistakes and what caused the difficulties BUT be sure to to mention you see a solution.

Back to prison is the only choice if any of the conditions of the probation is violated.
