Hopefully she can get the help she needs and a new start in life. We all deserve a second chance despite what the hard core new cons say.

Criminals deserve jail time.

A second chance most people would agree with - its the tenth or twentieth or fourtieth chance that gets under my skin. What are the chances this is the first time she has had a run in with the law?

? Deserve a second chance?

More often than not these folks have a lengthy track record and the fact that they get umpteen chances is what keeps them re-offending.

The feds are increasing spending on prisons. I say build them bigger and put them to work picking up gargage on our highways. Humility goes a long way to building self worth.

I agree with all of you.
But I really hope Chris's opinion works.
I've seen people turn their lives around and its really awesome to see. It may be she's addicted and yah, sometimes a dryout period up on the hill is needed, but with the right resources and the real want to change, yah, I hope she does well. Good one, Chris.

Rehab has to start with punishment. Tell it to the Judge.

After court time and maybe some jail time spring will be here with warmer temperatures and birds singing and life will be good. I'm sure the poor lady really doesn't care if this shows on her resume when she applies for a job in the spring. Eat regularly and stay warm, young lady. My treat.
