Can I Exchange Drug Court for Straight Jail Time?
Question by Kevin: Can I exchange drug court for straight jail time?
Havin a hard time keepin honest and sober in my drug court, what if i want to just serve the jail time instead? Will I have to serve a whole year? (Two counts class a misdemeanor)
I think i should just go to jail and max out so I dont have this drug court hangin over me. I already got a criminal record. What do you guys think? Just weighin my options…

I think you can(depends on your city) but they will give you double or triple time. They will consider you none complaint. basically, you would tell them that you disagree with the sober ideology and refuse to go along with it. The main thing here is you are actually not picking the easier, softer way. Your much better to go along with the program…
You could put this behind you sooner. Lets say you go to jail, serve all that time. Get out, then you mess up again, then they would throw you back in again for even longer due to priors…those are thing to think about in your decision.
