Drug Addiction a Major Player in Many California 3 Strikes Convictions – Retired Superior Court Judge of Santa Clara, California Eugene Hyman talks with The Legal Broadcast Network about the upcoming 3 strike reform act in California to soften sentences for non-violent crimes, such as drug possession.

With a history of violent crimes, the third strike is an easy decision but a problem arises when someone picks up a couple of strike offenses that aren t violent, says retired Superior Court Judge of Santa Clara, California Eugene Hyman. One of the initial problems, says Hyman, is figuring out what some of the crimes are that are classified as non-violent. For example, in California, threatening someone by saying I m going to kill you, qualifies as a third strike offense.

See if your community has a free/low-cost clinic. They may be able to direct you to a treatment program. Also, you could try local support groups at churches or community centers.
The DreamCenter in Los Angeles, CA is excellent and the results are so very succesful (this is fact). It is also free 100%… food and board inclusive along with basic needs such as clothess and toiletries….If you are truly serious about changing your ways…. then a commitment is required…. They may have programs in other places in the US but not sure… If you do the Dream Center… your addiction will likely become a thing of the past…I have been there and spoken to people who tell me they are happier than ever and that it worked… and they are becoming successful in life. I also think you can stay/live on site after completing the program for skill/job traing to place you succesfully back into mainstream life. People from all over the US goe there. They will not turn people away….
