Prop 36 would (I believe) require a new charge and a new prosecution. If he violated her for possession or being under the influence, he might be able to hold her until she comes up for trial. Otherwise she has technically 35 days to be brought before a hearing panel. However, the 35 day rule is not in stone until July of '05, so it may take a little longer. And if she is facing fresh charges, all bets are off.

And changing the county of parole is not usually a choice. Sometimes - due to hardship or a VALID reason, they might permit it. She can speak to her agent's superior, but in my experience that will be useless. She has to show that she can succeed on parole before they will be inclined to grant favors ... and apparently she ain't succeeding.

Was she arrested while under the influence or maybe for a dirty bottle?
If she was arrested on a violation then shes already been charged with a new charge.Only if she was under the influence again could she get new charges.The longest that she can be remanded on the violation in Calif. is either a six month or a "bullet"-one year. Depending on what the po recomends &(if she goes in front of them) the f.a.r. board review say. Nowadays if she was told they'll prop 36 her then she'll be in custody until a bed comes available in a live-in program. Eventually (usually after )30 - 90 days she go to a S.L.E.& will be there for another 90 days.She'll be out on the streets then with a certian curfew at night in the s.l.e.
The parole & probation offices are hesitent to let a parolee or probationer to change counties because it cost alot of taxpayers $$ & it's alot of paperwork.Besides they like to see their cases through to the end pretty much.But repeat violators don't get too much of what they ask since they can't stay responsible in the first place.
She should consider the fact that she's only getting prop 36 for her habit. Maybe she'll try harder this time to stay clean.I'm not trying to be judgmental or anything just suggesting for both your sakes.
Good luck & take care.

My response:

I think California should incarcerate druggies for no less than 10 years. Then, if the criminal becomes a recidivist, California should have expedited executions.

I'm so sick and tired of druggies ruining the landscape in this beautiful State! They're animals, anyway. They're not human, and they do nothing for society except being drains.

Why do you think she will be in a live in program? I wanted my daughter in the prop 36 program because I thought she would be in a live in program and not the case, eventho she is an alcoholic and was using heroin at the time. They had her in a outpatient program and she was pee tested once a week on Friday's only......I don't care what anyone says Prop 36 is a big waste of taxpayers money. Its leaves addicts on the street to continue to commit crimes. Spend a day in drug court and you will see what I mean. I hope they get rid of it and use the money for more drug programs in the jails.

Unfortunatey, the voters of my state were sold a big bill of goods on Prop. 36. It IS a waste of time and money, it is NOT very successful, and it effectively gives the defendant two "get out of jail free" cards for drug possession. Drug Court is a better program because it had far more punishments attached. Prop. 36 has relatively small teeth to account for failure, and does not even require successful completion of the program.
