Details in the above article
A man was arrested for marijuana and the court told him he could go to jail if entered “re-hab”. Once he was in re-hab, he was not allowed to practice his religion. He was not allowed visits with his clergyman, his prayer book was confiscated and was threatened with jail if he didn’t get with the program.

When a family member of his complained, they was told the young man had given up his religious freedom when he “signed up” for the program.

By the way, this man rec’d no actual drug re-hab services, the whole program was centered upon destroying his religious convictions.

Should our court system be facilitating these type of “drug rehab” programs in any way, shape or form.
Excuse me, I should have said he was told he could AVOID jail if he went to re-hab.

(no other re-hab was offered)
Yes, magiepix, I avoided letting people know right away that this was one Christian group denying a Christian of another denomination the right to worship.

Yes, as a Catholic he WAS denied the right to worship, and was also told that his religion was witchcraft. I have read several stories about this over the years.

I am sure that when he agreed to go into a “christian” based re-hab, that he was NOT informed that this “Christian” based “re-hab” was rabidly ANTI -CATHOLIC.

And this was not a “drug re-hab” program, it was a pure and simple religious indocrination boot camp.

What do you believe needs to be incorported into the program to make it successful? Include: type of inmate to be allowed to participate, length of program, counselor/teacher requirements, resources needed and anything else you think would be important.

I am interested in starting this program in the state of Georgia. It will consist of only males 25 years or older.
Also, what kind of requirements do I need to meet to receive funding?

I like to know the length of the program, the process and prcedures? My boyfriend is sent to one, he was setenced to 365 days and his release date is Nov. 21 2006, but he is to do the program instead of the time. He has 2 mths credit time served already. Basically how long is the program’s process, when will he began to have visits and phone calls? Ect. He is determined to succeed in this program but I like more info because I want him back home asap! Can anyone help give me answers? PLEASE!
This halfway house is in Fresno Ca. I was unable to find any info online. I know there is a blackout period, someone told me it was 30 days but if it is anything like the group homes my daughter was in they had a 10 day blackout period. If the stay is only 4 mths that is great! The home had picked him up from county Friday and I have not heard from him since and it’s frusturating not knowing whats going on.
