Alternative Sentencing for San Diego County Drug Crimes

Drug Crime Defense Lawyer in San Diego, CA

Alternative sentencing is an important option to consider in the face of drug charges in San Diego County. In 2000, California voters passed Proposition 36, the "Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act" which was developed to help convicted drug offenders turn their lives around through rehabilitation. Rather than focusing solely on punishment and imprisonment for first and second time non-violent drug offenders, Proposition 36 allowed for the implementation of substance abuse treatment to help reduce the amount of repeat offenders.

Why Alternative Sentencing? Contact an Attorney Today

Rehabilitation instead of punishment allows an offender to actually clean up his or her act and therefore have less of a chance of committing the same or a similar offense again. California has different options for defendants in this regard, including under Proposition 36 as well as Diversion Programs, community service, weekend jail, electronic monitoring and house arrest. A San Diego drug crime attorney can explore your options in this regard and help you avoid imprisonment.
