alrighty....having been a product of the criminal justice system for around 5 years....which all started with weed charge and probation when I was 16....which I violated with a possesion of alchohol at 18 and driving w suspended DL and went to state prison. These kids more than likely will have another minor run in with law enforcement while on probation. Then its off to adult prison (college as we called it) for these children. All cause they were scared and signed up for ridiculous probation terms for years and years when they coulda sat their punk ass in county for 30 days and been done. Its a cycle....designed that way....and it's very efficent.

.
And hire a free world attorney...court appointed lawyers work against you 75% of the time. Good luck

How long were you incarcerated by the state?
