[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 750028, member: 18958"] I am not sure I understand. Is it this: The probation officer is recommending prison for a first property offense. The prosecutor, of course, is thrilled. The judge, however, is exploring the option of letting him come home for house arrest, with ankle bracelet, with the ability that he leave each day to go to the day center, for therapy/treatment? That there is at least the possibility that the judge will override the probation officer? We will pray. The probation officer sabotages his chance because this is what many of them see as their role. I worked in prison many, many years and this was the outlook of most custodial staff, and many professional staff, too. A certain personality type is attracted to this power over people, for their own personal reasons. I think the judge understands this. The judge holds all of the cards here. I don't think that she would have brought this option up if she wasn't prepared to order it. It is a very good thing that youngest stepped up and advocated for himself. [/QUOTE]
