[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 70553, member: 1514"] tpc... If your state prison system is anything like mine, if they get sentenced then right away they get sent to what is basically an evaluation center. What this does is do a basic medical, mental health, substance abuse, and work evaluation. They are looking for people who have medical issues that need addressing, mental health issues that need a harder look at such as bipolar, schizophrenia, etc, substance abuse treatment, and then the evaluate them for what type of work or educational assistance they can do. Ok...so if your son is like my son and he has any sort of substance abuse problems and mental health history..Mine is bipolar and has a pot history...he would definately need to be seen in the psychiatric unit to get stabilized on medications before they could put him in to the general population...if they ever could. In my state they actually have a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for the more intense mental health/sub abuse inmates where they keep them in there for their sentences and then transfer them to halfway houses and then out. Case management follows them. It was what I was ideally looking for if my son got any active time on his charges. We shall see. You could ask the court for something like that. Even if you cant ask the court it is entirely possible that the prison system themselves my see for themselves the condition of your son and send him there. Ask his lawyer when you talk to him/her to push for it. [/QUOTE]
