’ ... I’m not sure that anyone is actually getting rehabilitated.”
Well, you felt you could safely say that your son will never again get a DUI. That’s rehabilitation of a sort, if true.
I guess I didn’t word that very well. All of the programs offenders are made to go through are supposed to deal with any alcohol problem the offender may have. I agree with that. What troubles me is that only a ONE program can be used and they control which counsellors, etc. that you can go to.
In other words....from what I’ve seen, it’s all about the Benjamins. Just a few organizations are making ALOT of money off of this. Offenders have to go to cousellors that are sanctioned by ASAP and the counsellors do the exact same thing ASAP does. And the counsellors are HIGH dollar and many, many weeks. It’s redundant and accomplishes nothing...except lining pockets.
I don’t mean to sound as though I’m in any way defending DUI’s. I just don’t agree with some of the punishments as they are useless.
